okay, so i was lookin at the coil packs on my VE.. and i saw that 2 packs were cracked.. then i saw a little oil at the end of the coils, i took out the spark plugs and the front 3 were all covered with oil. i took out all the spark plugs and wiped them dry and put them back in and test drove again and the car felt sluggish, i'm guessing its my knock sensor also messed up. but why is there oil in the spark plug hole? i reexamined the spark plugs and i dind't see any oil.. could there be a leak somewhere? or is my oil pressure too high? a gasket blown? please help gurus any input is welcomed

hopefully just a front valve cover gasket or maybe even you just need to tighten the valve cover

thanks i hope its just the valve gasket also... i've had the valve cover taken off about 2 or 3 times already by some mechanics trying to find out what the ticking noise was. 780 dollars later.. no fix.. 3 years later after i got a new car to replace my maxima.. i fix it with 50 bucks and a couple of hours of work replacing the exhaust studs... T.T total of 20k spent to fix the exhaust studs.. at least i have a new vtc in the front

I really hope you're counting the cost of the new car in that total.
