Oil in Spark Plug Tube
I have a 1995 Civic. I just changed the plugs/wires and found oil on 3 of the 4 plug tubes and plugs themselves.
What could be causing this?

where the spark plug tubes meet the valve cover there is a gasket around every spark plug tube you replace that and you wont have oil on your spark plugs
