86 SL2 spark plug well has oil in it!

Oct 10, 2004 2 Replies

About 6 months ago I had a local mechanic replace the valve cover gasket on my 96 SL2. Now I noticed the spark plug well has oil in it. It was about a half inch deep. Is the gasket bad again or is there another problem?



Thanks, Wayne


Sounds like a yo-yo to me. Have them do it again... this time properly!

Yeah it's bad. Good idea to get it fixed quickly before it causes a misfire.
