This morning I start the car without any problem. When I went to drive it, it bogged down, almost stall. I pop the hood and check and there is oil coming out from the spark plug area. The car never stall and could still drivable (short distance). Now the car is in driveway.

My friend suspect valve cover gasket. Does anyone have an idea of what else it might be before I start replacing more stuffs.

Thanks in advance.

 

its the o rings!!! buy a valve cover gasket kit!!! comes with it all and you will be good! had the same problem before and it went away with that gasket kit.

 

So the O ring comes with the valve cover gasket?

 

yeah they do... i think that gasket kit costs about 30 bucks... but its fairly easy to do...

 

yea start with replacing the spark tube seals. you can buy them seperately if you need to at any dealership or online.

 

he can even buy it all at autozone or kragen doesnt matter but it would be cheaper at these places than the dealership

 

Well, the car was throwing code also. So me and my friend brought it to midas and they pulled the code.

Turns out that #1 was misfiring and there is oil spill on #2. I have no idea why misfire have anything to do with oil coming out from the spark plug area. Anyways, they found out it was the distributor and cap and cleaned it....

 

you'll misfire if your plug is corroded and covered in oil. I'm actually doing the o-ring thing today. It should go pretty smoothly
