SO i was changing my spark plugs and the ingnation wires when i pulled out the first wire there was oil in it does anyone why????

 

more than likely,the spark plug seals on the valve cover are worn.

 

What year engine? Or how about, which side of the valve cover are the spark plugs on. The exhaust side (in the front of the valve cover) or the intake side (towards the rear side of the valve cover)?

If the spark plug wires are closer to you, in the front of the valve cover, there is a solid tube pressed into the head. It never leaks. Ever.

If the spark plug wires are on the other side, closer to the intake, the 4 round valve cover seals are often blamed for an oil leak into the spark plug tubes. But these round seals seldom leak oil, no matter how old they are, unless they are torn or damaged

Now, the 4 O-RINGS below the rocker arms leak all the time, and unless you've actually unbolted the rocker arm housing, you've probably never even heard of or seen these o-rings, just like a lot of the guys on this forum.
