Hi there,

I have just changed the cam cover gasket and thought while I was at it I may as well change the spark plugs too.

All was going well plug 4 and 3 looked good in respects of the sort of wear a good functioning spark plug will display, however when it came to spark plug 2 & 1, they were dripping in oil.........!! I cleaned the area out with a rag inserted all the new plugs and the car fires up no problem at all.

Is there something more sinister lurking that I need to sort out ASAP?

Cheers

GOM

might be wrong, but probably was your fooked cam cover gasket. my no 3 had it, then I changed my gasket and it didn't any more!

makes sure you do the cas seal whilst your at it, mine was literally as hard as plastic and leaking oil down the back of my engine.
