I just replaced the plugs on my 1992 Accord LX 2.2L. The two outer plugs were fine, but the two center plugs were covered in oil when I took them out. Any idea where the leak is and how to fix?
thanx

 

could be a lil oil from the pcv valve and whatnot, do a leakdown test.

 

rings on the pistons, valve seals, i dobt it is incorrect timing as not all cylanders are affected

 

I had the same problem on my 94 accord so I went ahead and replaced my valve cover gasket and spark plug gaskets.

It seems to solve the problem on my car that is.

 

Yeah, it's the spark plug seal gaskets. They're only a few bucks a piece.

 

My 90 Accord is having the prob, I just replaced the spark plugs 2 days ago. I thought that my motor was going to **** up on me. Thanks for the info.

 

Leaking spark plug grommets are very common. Unless you have blue smoke coming out of your tailpipe I wouldnt be too worried. It's an cheap easy fix it yourself if you can take off the valve cover. It fools you into thinking the oil is coming from the combustion chamber when you take the plug out and the oil runs down onto the plug gap.

 

same with me...its all good now.
