i have noticed that my camry is getting oil on the spark plugs and was wondering if anyone knows where it is comming from.

i have re-sealed the sparkplug tubes and still there is oil, help!

93, manual, 4 cylinder 5S-FE engine

Cheers for any help

If you relealed the spark plug tubes the oil in there is probley oil that got in there before you had it resealed.

I had the same thing happen 2 months ago and thought I still had that problem, but the mechanics just didn't remove the oil that was in the tubes.

So get the oil out of there, and check it like a day later to see if there is still oil, if there is they didn't do a good job of resealing the spark tubes.

how do you get the oil out of the spark plug tubes? is there a chemical or some thing to get it all out?

you take off the head and clean out that crap. my friend's celica /w the saem engine had the same problem. we changed the plugs and did a tune and its fine now.

i have the same problem, but i was told it was the valve seals. pretty sure i need some valve work, lots of oil on the plugs and blue smoke on start up. any truth to that?
