HELP! Oil on Spark Plug?????
Ok, so I pull the Sparkplug cable up out from the top of my engine (was gonna check my plugs since I havent done it since I got the car) and it makes the sound of a plunger in a toilet. When I pull the cable up out of teh engine the botton ha got oil all over it. WHAT THE HELL? Do you think that a leek in my cylinder head gasket would allow oil to leek into there? I drove my car earlier today but Im too afraid to drive it now since I know that the contact on the top of the plug has oil all over it. What should I do? Just take the valve cover off and put a new gasket on? What els could it be?

Ok, so I replaced my valve cover gasket, spark plug tube gaskets and grommets today. I used the high temp Flex gasket adhesive. But when I drove my car today it smelled like ass, kinda like gas, engine cleaner, and oil all mixed together. Do think it could be the high temp glue was just not cured yet? I know it could be just a little oil spilled on my engine also but I guess im curious about the gasket glue? hoe long does it take to cure? After reinstalling my valve cover I cleaned up the garage, and then took a shower and shit and got ready for work so Id say may 1 hour later I jumper in a drove to work and after I turned off my car soem smoke was comming up from the engine bay. I could have poped my hood and checked it out but was late already so now here I am at work and Im asking you guys what you think the smoke may be? Would it be possible that any excess glue inside the valve cover could be cooking?
