Cheesr :D Do you mean there was oil in the recess where the plugs sit? I assume you weren't a little cack handed when you refilled it..... Could be a loose breather hose or maybe even the oil filler cap wasn't on right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintalkin Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 it could be a leaking rocker cover gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whelk8891 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 it could be a leaking rocker cover gasket. Gets my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slrooke Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 hopefully it is the gasket, i had an old mondeo with oil on the spark plugs, i had to replace the entire engine as there was a crack in one of the cylinders caused by a b roken bit of spark plug.
