spark plugs chambers
« on: 06 March 2008, 13:40:45 »

ive just had a look at my plugs on the left as you can lift the ht leads off without touching anything, the plugs look very old  BUT!! the middle one has a little pool of oil in it and on the bottom of the lead. ive dunked a rag in it to soak the oil up but does it mean ive got a leak somewhere, i dont think im losing any oil and theres nothing dripping down into the well i can see
any ideas please ?????

It means your cam covers are leaking, start by cleaning the breathers out.
