Question Back middle Spark plug smokes???

Yeah for some reason my back middle spark plug starts to smoke after engine has been running for about 5-10 min. What could be causing that?

i'm not sayin this is for sure, but check to see if you have oil in your plug wells. oil in the plug wells could be cause by a leaky intake manifold gasket. again not possitive on this, but it's worth a shot.

It might just need a new plug, and if you look were your wires are attched to the motor, and pull one off you can see the plug. It easily goes back on dont worry.

Best bet is to take it to a pro, before something really bad happens to the engine, or something catches on fire.
