Hey guys, i opened my hood today and i noticed that i am leaking oil out of where the spark plug wires go down into the engine to the spark plugs, its only leaking out of the one all the way to the right... and its fresh oil... do you think its a blown seal or piston ring or what?

 

Clean it out.
Then reseat the plug.
Clean the engine off, then run it for a little while.

Shut it off, let it cool, then run your finger around the engine and see if you can feel where the oil might be comming from.
(or, blow dust on the engine, it will stick to the oil on the engine and make it easier to see)

 

it is the spark plag tube seal just pop of the vavle cover replace them only tools needed is a 10mm socket and get a new valve cover gasket it should take 15min too do

 

Tube seals as "tooslow" said, i did it about a week ago. When you buy the valve cover gasket set it comes with the tube seals!!
i think i paid like 15 bucks at autozone for the whole package! took me 20 min.

 

do you know the part number by any chance? or do you have a link to the part? as i'd like to go there and just ask for what i need by part number......

 

for a 2003 se it is:
FELPRO
Autozone part #VS50507R

it works... i guess ill just write down the part # and head over to my local autozone and pick it up hopfully they have it.... they should.... thanks for the help... and are there any serious risks with the problem i am having? or am i ok to drive tomorrow and possibly the next day....?

 

not really any risk, maby just losing oil and some misfires cause the plug is soaking. I dont know how long i had been driving. i was on original plugs and when i wint to change them i found the oil so who knows how long it was thier. I would not worry, but dont wait a few months.
