Default oil leak around plugs

on my 92 integra there is oil leaking around the spark plugs, when i pull the plug wires off they are dripping with oil. I replaced the plugs thinking it was the metal seal but its still doing the same, also my car is idling rough and sounds like a diesel,its got no power at all till about 3000rpm...any ideas whats going on guys?? thanks

There are little rubber seals under the valve cover that seal off the crankcase to the spark plug holes. Replace those

That is probably your problem. Oil will make your plugs harder to fire casuing a missfire. Replace those seals and I bet you will solve both problems

this is your answer bottom line. leaking valvestem seals will cause smoke from the exhaust.

"lol that an easy one if your driving a teg this is a common problem i had it on my too. u need to replace your valve cover gasket the lil round one inside your valve cover that seal around the spark plug but if your replace those its best to change all your gasket on your valve cover. if any question ask me" this is what i told someone else about the same problem but it was for a 94 ot 01 teg so i not sure if its the same for u but u should check your valve cover gasket cuz like i said its a common problem for teg
