hi, my friend just give ma his 91 civic lx and i find out that the spark plug tube have engine oil all over, i was thinking of the spark plug seal .. but .. any of you have any idea??? ??

 

you got it right, spark plug seals

 

but don't u think that's a little too much from that little oil seal ... and way before myfriend's eg have the same problem, and i changed it for him and still getting the sameproblem .. .is there any other cause .. for the leak ...

 

thats the only way oil can get in there, through that o ring that sits in the v/c.

 

yup bad O ring

 

since you've got to take off the valve cover anyway you might as well get the whole kit,it comes with valve cover gaskets,o-rings,washers,and grommets.

Hopefully this solves the problem,if it doesnt then it might be coming from the o ring(s) under the rocker arms,,which was a pain in the *** to do.

 

so is it a really deal.. or i could just leave it as it ....

 

you have to do it else, spark will to leak,

 

Someone just posted same question like 2 weeks ago .... Id replace the valve cover gasket and the 4 spark plug tube seals also replace the pedistol O rings

 

YEH its the valve cover gasket and you might want to replace the pedistol O rings

no its not.. it can leak right at the bottom aswell. thats what yours looks like, mine does the same thing. you can try the v/c gasket kit but i really dont think thats going to stop anything.. if you cant see any oil leaking down then its your rocker arm asembly O ring that goes betweeen the rocker arm assembly and the head right at the bottom of that tube.

i love you

try changing the valve cover gaskets first if that doesnt work. its your rocker o rings.

 

advanced auto, autozone, napa.

They sell the whole kit. Make sure you tell them you want the kit that has the spark plug seals. I got the whole kit for $20. It came with valve cover gasket, spark plug seals and valve cover nuts.

 

lol found my problem had too much

i had the same problem too, what i did was change the gasket that came with the O rings. i bought at auto zone it was pretty easy.

lol yes, i think we figured that out a long time ago.. but iv found that most of the time its the rocker arm o rings/seals.

 

janz3n is right, i had the same problem with my car

its not the vavle cover gasket or the tube seals, i replaced both of those before i found out that it was O ring that seals between the head and the rocker assy. its not real hard to fix, just take off the rocker arm assy. and be careful how you put it back together

get a haynes or chilton service manuel(very helpful)

 

there is soming about this seal on michell on demand aswell. its a common problem.
