hi guys,

i'm driving a wira a/b (M) yr 2003, mileage 72k. Just recently (at abt 67k mark) i discovered that there
engine oil at no.2 spark plug well. What i meant by spark plug well is the outside part of the
spark plug chamber where the spark plug cable goes into. The oil is not much but can be seen
(a very small puddle). My car till now has been running with no prob. Spark plugs are 20k km old. I did some search on the net and they said it could be due to valve cover gasket problem (though they're talking abt different engine).

Does any of u know this problem? Thanks

are you sure it's engine oil? a little bit of oil on the engine is normal. how much is not much? is your car's performance suffering? if not, it shouldn't be a problem =)

My car got this problem as well and I'm sure the oil on the 2nd spark plug head and tip is engine oil, as I need to top up engine oil every 1000km. There's no engine oil discovered on other spark plugs. There's no white smoke coming out from the exhaust but the exhaust fume smells like white smoke. Previously before I send my car for engine gasket change, I encountered no such problems. Could it be valve seals worn out? I remember during the gasket change, my mechanic did change the valve seals as well.
