Ok guys...I kinda sorta warned you. It's an '87 Acura. 4 banger DOHC 5 spd tranny. (My brother's car) Anyway, I was gonna do a tune-up on it and when I pulled the plug wires, I noticed that there was oil on the plugs. It was kinda reddish brownish blackish in color. Anybody have an idea on what the problem is or might be?

Thanks in advance.

Honda, hmm?

This is the kinda engine where it's got the plug wires that have the long stalk at the end that stick down into the valve covers, that then plug into the spark plugs, right?

I was told earlier that there's an inherent flaw in the gaskets that are around the spark plugs and let oil get past them.. My friend's Accord does the same thing.
