Bfstrachan 10 Posted October 20, 2015 Just got the new car, 1.8 16v, and serviced her. When pulling the old spark plugs the 3rd one had quite a bit of wet oil. Before I star exploring I thought it best to check with the experts. I was going to start with a compression test and take it from there... Any help would be great.

seanl82 23 Posted October 20, 2015 I wouldnt worry too much mate, its most likely just the cam cover gasket leaking. The KR gasket comes in 2 parts. 1 for the outer edge of the head, and a smaller one that goes around the plug recesses. Its this one that leaks and allows oil into the plug chambers. Quick cheap and easy fix! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bfstrachan 10 Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks for that Sean! Have a head set of gaskets in the post, so I'm guessing the rocker cover ones will come in the pack. Was preparing for a head gasket job... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
