iamandy Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 idk if im right but i had a problem just like this for my 91 accord with a f22 i pulled the plugs knowing where then went. then i got a full head gasket kits, which came with new grumets for my plugs, it was simple to do this kit a little oil and some wrenches and about 2 hours. after i did the kit i leaked no oil and i stopped getting oily pistons. you should look into it. what type engine you got? i ask a couple friends see what they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 is the oil in the spark plug hole on the top side or on the combustion side on the electrode? it's either spark plug tube seals (replace valve cover gasket kit with tube seals) or bad rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Rini Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Take the plugs out clean them with brake clean pull the valve cover off and seal the spark plug gaskets with hightemp rtv silicone and ull be good to go.
