I have a ES 1.8L DOHC L4 eng. I have oil leaking into 2 of my 4 cylinders onto my spark plugs. My dad cleaned my plugs off n the 2 cylinders out n my car idled perfect for a few days til oil leaked on plugs again. Does this mean i need " piston rings" and if so what all will need replaced when doing this?

Think a valve cover gasket will solve problem
