They are in order From Cyl 4,3,2,1. There was oil in cyl #2

 

white=lean

as for the oil, check the grommet thing on the bottom of the valve cover that keeps oil away from the plugs...may be leaking

There is the part number for the rubber grommets, and the location they go on the underside of the valve cover..

ahh, okay. I did a valve adjustment not too long ago, so i'll take her off and see what is up. Also, what did u do to get your valve cover looking like that? And, why would my plugs be indicating that i'm lean, when i'm basically stock.

 

To get my valve cover a little shiny, I first sandblasted it...I then sanded it with 150, 220, 320, 400, 600, 800, and then 1500...then polished it with mothers polish...didnt turn out exactly like i wanted it to though.

As to the plugs..good question, when you say basically stock...what else have you done to it? I dont think this would interfere with anything...but check the gap on your plugs too

 

Is it just my imagine, or do those plugs look perfectly fine? They might be SLIGHTLY lean, but a tan colour (which they basically appear to be) is optimal.

Any other opinions?

Well perfect plugs should be reddish orange. They arent tooooo lean, just a tad

 

 

yea they arent too bad aj, there is no need to be

 

They look a-okay! I don't think you're too lean...

Thnx guys, Rob, did you engine blow??

 

I just had the same problem. I replaced my valve cover gasket and the plug tube gaskets. Total parts costed $21.87 from Acura .
