Oil in spark plug well...

[CMF_Nissan_March]

Hi,

I found quite a fair bit of engine oil in the spark plug well I assume its a broken/worn rubber ring. Are there any other situations where oil can get in? Any idea what these rubber rings are called and how difficult to replace them?

I am thinking the necessary steps are to remove the rocker cover and replace the rocker cover seal and the 4 rubber rings.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It would most likely be caused by a bad seal at the top of the cam cover.

Probably a good time to pull the cam cover off and either replace all the seals/gaskets up there or just take the easy way out, clean them and put some gasket goo on them.

That is correct take the rocker cover off and replace the tappet cover gasket and the spark plug oil seals that is what I would do also, not hard job and should not be very expensive if you do it your self.

Thanks guys.. just 1 more question. Should I need to apply liquid gasket to the rubber seals?

Thanks

YES, you will need a sealant on the rubber gasket.
