oil on plugs? So the other week the car was acting funny. It was stumbling at idle and abs, ses lights etc were coming on. I checked the grounds and plugs to see if something was lose. Driver side plugs are spotless, look brand new. As soon as I checked the passenger side ones, I could see them covered in oil...all 4. I can also see oil down along the block from the heads down and a bit under the valve cover.
Anyone know why?

The valve cover is leaking? That would coat plugs. But you need to determin the highest spot that has oil and see where it is coming from. Then fix before it fails more plugs out.

Either the piston rings are going out or the valve cover is leaking. Is the oil on the part of the plugs that are on the outside of the engine or the part of the plugs on the inside of the engine? If its inside, I'm gonna go with your piston rings are going out
