We have a 93 Accord LX, 2.2 automatic, just over 100,000 on it. Recently changed spark plugs and the two middle plugs had oil on the outside of them when I pulled them out of the recess they fit in. Oil was NOT on the plug tips, they were dry, and the two outer plugs were dry inside and out. The two inner plugs just seem to have oil in that recess, is this a problem to worry about, or just a minor leak to live with? Car is running great but I worry if there is an oil leak to cause damage.

it could be a case not the right tightness to your s.plug vis sa vis your engine. the small leak of gasoline to become oil. hopefully not because of close thread ?? also very advisable to use torque-wrench w/ right torque. mark maryroseberg
