wijcc Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi all, I changed the spark plugs this weekend on my car and notice that around two of the spark plugs there was some oil, looked like engine oil. I am guessing that some kind of seal/gasket needs replacing, can anyone tell mewhich gasket/seal it is that I need to replace please and also whether it issomething that you could easily do yourself?. I mopped up all the oil that was there before putting the new plugs in. Also the boot release/open button on the dashboard seems to only work intermittently, anyone know how to cure this too please? My car is 2001 mk1 1.6 focus, thanks in advance guys :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Chances are your cam cover gasket is leaking slightly. Quite easy to replace providing the plastic cover itself is not warped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
