Yesterday I changed the spark plugs in my 2002 Nissan Maxima. One of the plugs near the firewall had oil on the top side of the plug.
When I put the socket down the shaft, tube???, I could hear the oil slop that was abound the plug. Didn't want to take the plug out and have a bunch of oil drop into the cylinder, so I'd clean off the socket after putting it around the plug. Did that about 20 times.
The electrode part of the plug was completely dry. Anyone know where this oil could be coming from? (the black duct tape was there to hold the socket to the extension)
