Oily Spark Plug...

Hi all,

Bought myself a 2001 Micra S 1.0, just been servicing it today and found oil around the number 2 spark plug threads. Is this bad...?

Thanks
Rich

the spark plug tube oil seal in the engine cover tends to get looser over the years till it can't hold back the oil spray and trickle into the tubes.

I just bulked up the tube dia with Alu tape to reseal it
