Oil in the spark plug holes HELP!!!
yes i did a oil change and then ran my car and it was fine then after about 20 minutes it started sputtering and shut off, it start back up but when i gave it gas it barely moved. Then when it cooled down i took out the spark plug wires and the 2 middle spark plug holes were filled with oil the #2 hole had so much that u couldnt see the spark plug. What does this mean and what will i need to do to fix this?? thnx in advanced for any help.
there are o ring seals under the valve cover for the plugs...pull the valve cover off and make sure that they are all there and check for cracks or uneven seating...sounds like they just need to be replaced

Like he said.
Just goto any local autoparts store and get a valvecover gasket set,
It should include the large gasket for the VC, and 4 small ones for the sparkplug areas.
And the VC is very simple to take off, all you need is a 10mm socket.
