I was changing my spark plugs and on a couple of them there was some oil any ideas?

 

What motor ya got

 

b18c

 

Was the oil on the sparkside or tubeside of the plug?

 

could be those circle gaskets that surround the spark plug cover, or some leaky *** valve seals. idk. my buddy had the same prob on his 4g63 dsm POS, and thats all it was, was the rubber grommets i think that surround it. check em out.

 

yeah, just clean it up, and go get the valve cover gasket kit, and replace ASAP!!

 

and of course let us know

 

It was on the spark side. And is it ok too drive it?

 

it may be... not sure, GET FIXED ASAP tho. any time your leakin oil, worry. haha i didnt and spun a motha effin bearing

 

yeah its okay to drive, but just replace it asap.

 

Are the valve cover gasket kits cheap, found one on ebay for 9 dollars

 

yeah but thats not your problem, your valve seals might be leaking or worse, just go get it checked.

 

take off your valve cover, and see if they're bad dude. I would recommend OEM parts if possible or those felpro ones from autozone have worked good for me.... how much oil was in there??

 

try posting some pics if possible so we can help ya more

 

There wasnt very much, just enough to be noticeable.. And pull off my valve cover to check my valve cover gasket or my valve seals

 

i agree, get the oem kit its not expensive at all

 

Well you cant check your valve seals by pullin the cover, so check the gaskets around the spark plug ya know the four in the middle.

And one way to tell if your valve seals are leaking is if you kinda smoke a little when ya first turn it on, and then drive it. If your smoking a little then they could be. Or you can pull your head and have a machine shop test it all...

 

i dont have any smoke. so im thinking it valve cover gasket

 

pull that **** and check it out man!

 

I will have too tommorrow its pouring here and I dont have a garage to check it out

 

yeah, not having a garage sucks ***... thats whats holding up the body work on my del sol... i dont wanna start it and have to re do all of it due to shitty *** utah weather.

but hopefully its just a piece o rubber dude!

 

Would it be running different if it were the valve seals

 

yeah, it would smoke and burn a little oil. might make a slight ticking noise. and smell a little funny other than that idk. if its not your gaskets, then take it to a shop and see what they say! try posting pics of the spark plug you pulled out.

 

ok I wiped most of it off

 

Here are some picutures, my cameras not very good but you can tell where its been
