Is the oil on the spark plugs tops where the wires go onto? or On the cylinder side? If its simply on the outside where the wires hook onto all you need to do is replace the spark plug seals (4 rubber gasket things a 10 min job or less) and your good to go .

Goodluck.

A carbon fiber hood will help keep the heat of the sun away from your motor
It will help stop things from warping and protect your seals

Well then since its on the plug when you pull it...valve seals, piston rings, and maybe the headgasket. How many km's you got on your car?

It won't start because you touch yourself at night.

It's the seals around your spark plugs.

change your gromets and your valve cover gasket seals. buy some gasket maker, and first clean the base where the gaskets are going. than put some gasket maker on the outer edge. Than put you gaskets on..put the valve cover on, and your good to go, no more leaking oil.
