Icon6 Oil in spark plug chamber

Hi! I'm Candice. I work on my car for minor repairs, and today while changing the spark plugs on my 96 Honda Accord 6 cylinder, I found oil on the wrench, meaning there must be oil in the spark plug chamber area.

What does this mean, and how is it fixed?

Thank you!

Hi Candice. This isn't the appropriate forum to post this, but I will move it there for you.

Oil in the spark plug area usually is a indication of bad spark plug tube seals. Usually replacing the valve cover gasket set will fix the issue. Use the search and I am sure there are quite a few threads about this..
