oil on top of spark plugs
 
sup guys, since the time i turbo my car last week, i started to see blue smoke from my tail pipe. i check my spark plugs. as i pull out the spark plug wires i saw oil on my #1 and # 4 wires. the spark plugs tubes are full with oil. like 1 inch high. i thoguht it was my spark plug tube seals, so i replaced the tube seals, but i'm still seeing oil. i did a leak down test. i only have like 7% leak. i got a 95 accord v-tec 4 cyclinder. any advise would help. thanx Phat

well, if you replaced the grommets, the only think i could think of is maybe your plugs aren't torqued down enough, or the washer on the plugs aren't sealing???

the plugs are new, i did torqued it down to spec. the v/c grommets are brand new. i just think it might be my spark plug tubes, i seen toyota camry leak on those, i work for toyota. the suck thing is that my honda spark plug tube are press in to the head. maybe i go to machine to have them fix it. thanx for the help anyways. maybe i should just get a twin turbo supra hahah,

hmmm do a compression test to make sure those numbers are OK.
