KADE spark plugs soaking in oil

[drftkng951]

Symptoms:
Cyl. 1 spark plug covered in burnt oil
engine would sputter if not bogg
Engine oil looks grey
Smokes all the time

History: unknown mileage kade from s14 (in my s13). I ran sea foam through it (engine decarbonizer). I changed the plugs and the car was still having a miss fire but less. Engine oil never really changed color no matter how often or frequently I changed it.the car leaks oil not sure from where but it has sat for a long while and cyl. 1 plug is covered in oil, not burnt oil but wet.
I know I should probably do a compression test but based on these symptoms and what I have searched can the car really have that bad of compression to be doing all this
... did running sea foam clean it all out so much that it lost all the carbon that was keeping it alive?

I have heard horror stories about seafoam.
-Did this start only after using that crap???
-Did you change your oil after seafoaming it? If not that might explain the strange oil color.
-The oil isn't milky is it? That might be a blown headgasket.
-Does the engine smoke profusely?

When adding sea foam isn't it added to the oil and fuel? If that's the case it sounds like it ruined you valve stem seal in cylinder number one it would cause your car to run that way.

Yeah I added about 3/4 to the engine and the rest in the tank. The seal makes sense but wouldn't it actually have to break for it cause this serious of a misfire?

-No directly after but maybe a month after. I did drive it hard about two times after I did the seafoam. It went from normal to shit in about a day. I didn't drive the car for two days cuz of a bad harness but when I did everything it still ran like shit.
- Yes I changed the oil about 2times that same day with a filter.
-the oil honestly looks greenish/gray lol I ran a bunch of oil to make sure it would look better but after a little bit of driving it would change back to that color.
- it smokes horribly. Like I was sending smoke signals to the next cuty

DO A COMPRESSION TEST!!!! Your symptoms could be due to all kinds of issues that a compression test will help you to narrow down what the problem is. Don't EVER ASSuME that you know what the problem is without running the proper tests first. Save yourself the hassle & grief!!

Engine smoking could be due to burnt valve or bad valve seals, worn piston rings etc. Sputtering could be due to bad MAF wire, incorrect timing / idle, bad fuel injector, vacuum leak, etc.... Whatever the reason, a compression test will help you narrow down what the problem is & fix it.

Don't ever ASSuME....

Hope this helps...
