Well I wanna know what is wrong with my car. I constantly have keep putting engine oil in my car because for some reason my car keep loosing oil. And there is oil in one of the sparks plugs (my car is a 4 cylinder). The check engine light has been on for like 3 -4 months now and I went to o riley auto parts to get it checked and he said that they were censors. So if you could answer my questions I would be very thankfull

What were the EXACT trouble codes retrieved?
Oil in plug tubes indicates bad plug seals under the valve cover.
If no oil leaks are visible and exhaust is smoking, that would indicate oil is getting to the cylinders or exhaust system via the valve seals.
