hey guys ive been a very bad boy and havnt serviced my car for a while, i changed the oil now im onto the spark plugs and i noticed when i took the leads off the plugs there was a bit of oil around the leads. IS THIS BAD?? and why is there oil there?


cheers guys

Probly just a bit of oil that has seeped from the tappet cover, Keep an eye on it and your oil level. Shouldnt be too much of a problem :)

how thin is the oil out of curiosity???.

I wouldnt think of it as being a big prob, unless the engine has been using oil. If anything, i would imagine its the rubber seal located on the rocker cover. wouldnt worry about it to much though

By the way, havent seen you out and about for a while now, hows things???

cheers guys

im good gazza just been workin non stop though damn it, ill be out n about soon haha. just havnt had time to go on the net

get the seals on rocker cover replaced if you let it go too long it will kill the leads causing a missfire if it has a dissy cap it may burn it out as well
