Any clues where this oil can be coming from? Looks like a spray or sporadic leak under cornering maybe. In right rear area of compartment.
Also, new plugs all look slightly black with little or no oil. I guess that is good? And I pulled one of the wires right off the connector. Can I just push it back on or is it toast? They were brand new bosch wires. Thanks, david (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached image(s)

That could be coming from the breather tube on the head; I think it is on the backside on the #3 cylinder.
When I auto-x my car for the first time I didn't know about the vents. The course had a long left handed sweeper when I got through my second pass there was a large puddle of oil under my car, I just about sh$t my pants. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Black plugs means you are running rich which is better than lean. What year or numbers ECU and MPS? Has the MPS adjusted? On a dyno? Does the MPS hold a 15hg vacuum for 5 minutes? Could be leaking
