I know a few people have posted about this before.
I pulled the plug wires on my contour zetec yesterday, and noticed that the two plugs on the passenger end of the motor were drowning in oil. The oil is on top of the plugs, around the ceramic insulator thingamajig. For those of you that have had this problem, how did you fix it? I'm assuming I need a new valve cover gasket, or perhaps I just need to tighten the valve cover bolts. Any success stories?
