Was doing an oil change today and while at it decided to check brakes and spark plugs...
pulled each one out 1 by 1 and noticed that there was oil on each one...
they were covered even the white part had oil on it...
so i cleaned each one off and put it back in to check for oil, cuz i figred it just leaked threw when i was pouring in new oil...however after pulling the plug out again there was oil at the bottom of it...any ideas on what the problem may be?
and why i'm getting oil over the spark plugs...?

 

Spark plug tube seals maybe?

 

Check your valve cover rings gaskets

 

Can we get a little more info on your car? Year, miles, etc? Don't want to scare you, but it sounds like a serious prob...worn valve guides or piston rings, according to my Haynes manual.

 

actually, more than likely it is just spark plug tube gaskets. just replaced my valve cover gasket, and the tube thingeys. I would recommend that.

 

i got a 1990 5spd lx accord....
uh .... 330k km so like 220k 215k miles?
do the conversion i have no clue...
but uh....i'm hoping its not the pistons and i got the haynes manuel as well i was planning on going threw it maybe finding the problem but time is a factor...and i dont have none stupid work...

but thanks for the help i'll check what u guys told me and i'll let u know what i find out

I guess I'l ask here instead of making a new thread.
I got a similar problem except the oil is comming up to the ignition wirespast the threads of the plug?
I replaced those O rings like some people said to do, but the problem is still there.
I got a 93 accord lx 125K miles.
Any ideas anyone?
Yes my gas mileage is suffering as well as power.

 

oil is seeping throught the rocker arm seals, with miles like that the rocker
arm seals are harden and shrink, if you replace them make sure to replace the
plug well seals also

 

i c i c, thanks alot ktls...i'll c if i could take a look at it and c if thats the actual problem...

 

i have a 94 accord wagon which had the same problem when i got it &gt;&gt; i changed the valve cover seal and the spark plug seals &gt; the kit somes complete with everytring you need NOT INCLUDING HONDABOND. buy a tube of that for about 10 bucks US. if the engine is in decent shape the kit should tkae care of the leaking proboem

 

if the oil is mostly in the spark plug tube and on the wire, it's either the spark plug grommets, valve seals, or valve guides. if it's on the bottom of the spark plug as well, it could also be piston rings. im sure it could be something else, but that's the most common.

 

okay thanks alot
