Hey all :D

Gave my car a service today :D Changed oil which went eveywhere >.<, Change air filter :)

I went to do the spark plugs and my spark plug wrench snapped while doing the first one >.<.

So i went to change the HT leads on all the 4 when i noticed that the 3 and 4 plug was full of oil inside.. i tried to get most of it out.. But is there a reason there is oil in there?

Cheesr :D
