soo i pulled out my spark plugs just to check it out and noticed that my 4 spark plug (next to firewall) has oil all over it, what could this possibly be and what are the symptoms. How would i fix this problem? I'm getting a new vavle cover gasket cause i'm leaking oil around the valve cover and get the oil well gasket, could this be the problem why i have down in the 4th spark plug well?

I have a s13 blacktop

The valve cover gasket should come with those spark plug gaskets, dont know the name of it.

Change the gaskets and you should be good. Thats really the only way oil will get on top of your spark plugs.

Replace the valve cover and spark plug valve gasket or w.e its called lol, to get ride of the oil in the spark hole i would dip a rag in a degreaser like purple power.
