I went to go change my spark plugs today and I notice that 1,2 and 4 plug had a bit of oil on them. Anyone know why that would happened? Have my piston rings gone bad and are leaking or could it be something else? I checked my oil and it was perfect it was not low or anything. Thank you for the help.

 

Valve cover gasket leak - happens a lot on a B5.

 

Thank you sir! Searched online a lot and everyone seemed to have the same answer. So glad its not the rings. Now it will give me a great chance to paint the cover!

 

Yeah ring problems are pretty rare in these cars. Check www.germanautoparts.com - great price and excellent to deal with.
