Oil around spark plugs???ubarent 03-13-2004, 06:10 PM Went To check my plugs on my 1999 2.2L 2wd Man. Transmission Rodeo, and there was a pool of oil around plugs three and four-closest to firewall. Does this mean a blown headgasket? Is this gonna cost me a fortune? Any thoughts? P.S. It has 95,000 miles on it.

Replace them along with the valve cover gasket if you ever need to tear into it. A little oil is no problem. As a side note- make sure your PCV and breather lines are free & clear to keep crankcase pressure as low as possible. This could also force some oil into the plug towers.
