Changed the plugs, on my 59 plate only to find a fair amount of oil pooling next to number 3 and 4 spark plug.
I changed the plugs and fitted new HT leads , silicon grease on spark plug end boots with cotton bud careful not to touch the connector but didnt do the boots at coil end as silicon was already visible where the boots fit on the coil/distributer end .
I was told by a neibour that a small leak of oil was common, but I reckon it looks a fair amount. The oil on the dipstick has only dropped about 3mm in a month.
I couldn't get a good pic of oil on cylinder head but got pic of plugs I took out., laid out In cylinder order
Oil "tide mark" a good cm up on ceramic I think. Oil looked about 1 or 2 mm deep at number 4 plug.
It leaks Very slightly at the rear of engine outside surface
I was estimated 100 quid to fix. Would it last a week or two?
