Wussup everybody I have a problem that I discovered when giving my max a tune up and that is when I was putting in my bosch +4plugs (BAD IDEA REAMD MY PAST POST FOR ALL WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE THINGS DO) I noticed one of the original plugs had oil on the threads and I know that's not good but I didn't know which cylinder it was from cuz my stupid a@# wasn't paying attention but once I got rid of those +4's I payed more attention and the oil plug was out the top far right cylinder I don't remember which number it is. I looked at the plug hole and it seems like the oil bled through the gasket and there was oil on the boot of the plug wire and on my crankcase cover but only in that isolated spot I'm wondering if the leak is from the inside, or if it's from the gasket that's right there. I take good care of my car:air and fuel filter, regular oil changes and tranny flush, fill and filter replaced, etc. Is there something that I could have missed? Has this happened to anyone else? Is it something I could fix myself? Thanx in advance for any opinions on my problem, i know I can always get knowledgable information from you guys.

 

hmm...i would say a loose valve cover or a dryrotted valve cover gasket. Dont know of any other source of oil in that area. See if the screws that hold the valve cover on are tight..all of mine were loose when i got my car.

 

Thanx I'll try that when I get home
