Oil in spark plugs (GA16DE)

[ChristopherNissan200sx]

Whats up guys. I was doing some maintenance the other day (changing oil, checking stuff, blah blah blah) and I came across a problem.

I have oil in my spark plugs. I went to pull them to check them and the bottom part was covered in oil. It was mostly where the threads are.

There was some oil on the end on the wires connected to the plugs too.

Does anybody have any solutions?

I did some research and a lot of people said replace the plug seals and valve cover gasket.

Just want to get a second opinion.

By the way, I have a GA16DE, not an SR20 or a KA24 or anything.


Help.

It's your Valve Cover. spark pluge seals do nothing. or should I say is Irelevent to your issue.

What ended up fixing the problem?

Valve cover gasket. There is a gasket the goes around the spark plug holes on the valve cover.


Upon further inspection, really only one plug was leaking not all four.
