Plugs Drowned in Oil

[maciej-xx]

So i had problems starting my car yesterday... When I've pulled the cap from the spark plug, the oil was dripping from it... All the plugs on both sides (V6). There was so much oil there that I could not even see the tip of the plug on some of them (not all). I just hope, it's gaskets...

Probably the valve cover gaskets.

was it when u pulled the spark plug wire off the spark plug was covered in oil= valve cover gasket. if you removed the spark plug and the electrode was coverd in oil it would be rings/head gasket

If your spark plug wires are swollen where the oil had been "drowning" them. They should be replaced. The might still work for awhile, but it's recommended that you replace them.
I think I replaced my plug wires for $68 from Bahn Brenner on my 12V.
