I was changing the spark plugs on my Kia and when I took the back 2 plugs out the cylinder was full of oil.
Is it wise to try to fix this problem or to replace the motor?
Now, for some reason the car won't start, so I am assuming that the oil probably has reached the other cylinders.

Thanks!

WOW! Sure a common problem, guess I'm not alone I had oil on the back 2 cyls due to a leaking valve cover gasket. Replaced the gasket, plugs, and plug wires. ALSO replaced the 2 oil damaged coils. They cost less $$ than expected. Coils can get too weak to work. This took care of problem. "That one anyway"
