96 camry leaking oil from top of valve cover

Aug 13, 2004 5 Replies

my 96 camry is leaking oil from around the grommets that hold on the valve cover (under the plug wire boots). what would cause oil to leak from there. The grommets are completely tight.



There is an actual double lipped seal in the valve cover for each metal park plug tube. These seals harden with age. Remove the valve cover, pry out the seals, press in new ones. Toyota priced proudly these seals but that's your repair.

Spark plugs do not leak oil. Sheesh

Gas residue from loose plugs Looks like an oil leak, How do I know, I put one in loose .
