Notice oil around plug wires during plug change 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Ron on  Sun Mar 10 23:30 CST 2002 [RELATED]

It's probably due to being spilled during oil changes as oil must be fed very slowly (requiring patience) or it spills over. This is commonly seen in most "white engines" so I'd degrease it carefully, making sure to not use water and fill the spark plug holes which'll happen unless you can blow them out with compressed air, and keep an eye on it after being degreased. Make sure the oil fill cap seal isn't dryed out either. Unless you change your own oil, there's no way that you can prevent whoever's changing your oil from adding it too fast thus spilling it over. I use a homemade funnel restrictor that makes it impossible for the oil to go in that fast.
