Oil on my sparks
Hey guys, I am trying to learn to work on my own car, so this weekend I decided to change my oil and sparkplugs/wires. While trying to change the sparkplugs I noticed oil on the plug in cylinder 3 while the plug in cylinder 4 was seemingly drowning in oil.
I don't see any oil residue around the engine headcover Although I did see some around the oil pan.
It is a 1.6L Mazda mx-5 NB(FL) engine from 2002
What is the cause and is it an urgent repair?
Input is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
