Car started missfiring etc so had a check round to see what was up. Pulled leads out and checked in port where plugs were and they were all half covering the plugs with oil.

They were drowned kinda thing with oil all around them.

whats happened?

any ideas?

cheers

 

Your cam cover gasket is probably leaking ??

 

the rocker cover gasket would make the plugs be drowned in oil, the oil was like covering half of the plugs

nothing else or any other seals that could of failed?

 

No just the rocker one as said.
Fit a COMETIC reuseable one, with Loctite 5900/5910 on the half moons never leak again.
DON'T overtighten the bolts and it will be fine.
