If it's not the air leak we have already discussed then the valve will be raising the speed? I seem to remember you have already tried cleaning it? Sometimes letting them soak in some detergent, i.e. petrol etc for 24 hours can do the trick, as the problem is with them they stick. Otherwise there are plenty around.

Won't be head gasket, this would have totally different symptoms!

If there is oil down the plug bores then you would have to of spilt LOADS of oil for that to happen! No point in cleaning plugs, easier and cheap enough to buy new, in fact far better to buy a complete service kit, and do your service at the same time! Plus this won't cause the hunting, they do suffer from misfires and the culprit will be the coil pack, assuming the rest of the ignition system is in good condition.

It looks like the oil is cuming from the top it looks to me as if its the rocker cover leaking I have got an oil leak on cambelt side of engine so got to have that looked at when get cambelt done. Im going to tri and find a iscv on ebay which iv had no luck in doing yet then will find out if its that if the iscv is playing up eod it play up all the time like when u start car and drive it and take your foot off throttle and it sounds like its hunting as well and los of power
