so there is oil coming from the top and going down to the top of the spark plug? If so, it might be that the valve cover isnt sealing right with the spark plug chamber. take the valve cover off and look inside it...check the black o-ring gasket lookin things and see if they are worn or cracked. my buddy had that problem. let me know what happened
