1996 Neon, oil on spark plugs?? Login - Sign Up

1996
Dodge
Neon
4 cyl

I was changing my little sisters spark plugs! Noticed alot of Oil on her plugs, way more then usual (I think usual.....means no oil at all lol) but none the less there ya go!

The chambers where her plugs go in, is it possible there is a gasket somewhere near or on this part? I cant think of any other reason oil would be in here, unless someone poored it in....in which case.....stupid as hell!

My fam seems to be having alot of car issues this month lol

That's just a leaking valve cover gasket. It also seals the spark plug tubes.

To add to HT; Probably should replace the plug wires if they've been in contact with that oil.

This is too basic a job for any instructions to be printed.

greg; Need to know which engine this is. SOHC or DOHC. If you don't know, give me the eighth digit of the VIN number. This really is such a basic job that my Mitchell information just says "Remove valve cover".
