Oil in the third cylinder hole
I was changing my spark plugs wires on the weekend and I noticed that when I pugged the third spark plug wire out there was oil about 2 inches up the spark plug wire and the oil was green in colour. When I looked in the hole with a light the oil was almost above the spark plug.
What do you think is the problem? Is it seious or minor?

try changing your valve cover gasket. There's 4 donut gaskets that go around the spark plug holes between the Valve cover and head.

Only problem with HAP (and also SLH) is that they take FOREVER to freaking ship stuff out.
You can select overnight shipping and it still takes over a week to get the items because it takes them days to "process" an order.

I always make threats over email or phone. Things like "If I dont have my parts by monday, I will remove your *********....through your anus."
Works every time.
Seriously though. I always got **** on time from them.

Well the oil is going somewhere. Or they didn't fill it up all the way. If it was in the spark plug hole, im guessing it's going in there. It's probably leaking into the cylinder and slowly burning.
Lots of hondas burn oil anyway. Through valve seals. It's a fact of life.

Shouldnt burn that much oil, unless the rings are gone.
OP check your compression when you get a chance.
