      Question oil on spark plugs

      So I replaced my spark pulgs today I noticed when removeing the cover the bolts holding it on where coverd in oil. Than upon removeing the spark plugs they to where coverd in oil. Is this normal or is the gasket damaged?

      sounds like a bad valve cover gasket.

      I asked auto zone and its 30 bucks should I replace this myself? I also noticed the muffler is slightly spitting out oil?

      no, that's just the soot that manages to get past the Catalytic converter, ALL cars do that.

      since your car is running and driving right now, save yourself $17 and order the gasket off ebay. $12 shipped.
