Hi there, my 4cyl honda civic was running fine then the following morning it wouldn't start.
After removing all 4 spark plugs i noticed they where saturated in oil. I cleaned them and reinstalled them, after cranking over for about 20 secs i removed them again to find them all covered in oil again. What could be the problem to this? Car is in good working order and serviced on time.
Thanks
Nick

If your spark plugs and boots are covered in oil, Replace your valve cover gasket seals. They come as a kit with o-ring rubber seals included for your plugs. you need to remove your valve cover and you will see the seals underneath that need to be replace. Cover seal, Bolt seals, and plug seals.
