Guys,

Weird question. I was replacing my spark plugs yesterday and noticed when I removed them they had quite a bit of oil on them (threads and tips). I was thinking that it might be left over oil from when the cams were replaced. The oil was not in the combustion camber, it was in the cylinders on the valve cover. It looks like my valve cover maybe leaking. Should I tighten up the valve cover? Is it anything to worry about?

 

maybe the valve cover gasket is leaking, did u replace the gasket? when you did the cams?

 

my car has 50k.. we had the valve cover off doing cam gears the other day and noticed that the gaskets around the spark plugs were getting pretty beat up.. didnt have them with us at the time, but ill replace them the next chance i get.
