Default oil seeping out of block on #4 cylinder

you can see the oil seeping out around the manifold on the #4 cylinder and there is oil around the threads on the spark plug. The plug isnt drenched in it, but there is definitely oil on it. I seen something about a seal being broken maybe?

anyone have any ideas - im sure this is a common problem.

If you have oil on the spark plug threads, you might want to check the tube seals on your valve cover. Pull the cover off and there should be a seal on each of the 4 holes. Probably should just replace them all.

You may have put too much oil in and now the pressure is too great, causing it to push out.

it was the PCV valve..we didnt have one hooked up ... hooked it up and it fixed that problem but it started to blow oil out the valve cover gasket under boost.. thought i could make it home but the car didnt want any of that. blew a rod through the block shifting at 4k .. i was only at 5psi boost
