I changed the spark plugs. The plugs were swimming in oil. What is the problem? Can I continue driving it?What will happen if I do?

Hi there,

This can be the rocker cover gasket leaking, if left un attended the oil will cause the rubber of the leads and the spark plug boots to deteriorate and you will start to get a misfire.
