Car idling is low now, and died at intersection. My son took spark plugs out and said they were full of oil. What do I do now? It's a Ford 2XZ, I bought it with 58,000 and now has 92,000, and have never tuned it up only had oil changes, doesn't seem to use oil. No problems with this car till now.

Thank you,
Vicki

Thank you for the rapid response. And I have another question. Where is the fuel filter located on this car?

It looks like it's on the passenger frame rail.

On your oil leak, replace the valve cover gasket.
