Well my car hasn't been running right it been leaking oil in my garage right under

the driver side of the hood, near the crankshaft area. Its been misfiring so I

pulled the plugs and they are hellla oily. So any help what it might be? I'm hoping

that I won't have to take the head off. could the cam shaft seals leak oil into

the the spark plugs? well just wishful thinking.

Take off your valve cover and check the spark plug seals or whatever they're called.

Part #4 is what ^^ he suggested you should look at. Oily plugs usually means you'll have to replace those gaskets.

yeah, thanks that is the issue I asked around in my auto class and you just re-verified it. As for the misfires in clylinder 3 &4( bad plugs). checked the gaps and they were to big. well thanks for your input guys.

WELL Hey DID THAT STOP THE OIL LEAK when you replaced the spark plug seals? or where were the leaks comming from>?
