help please whats wrong here 90 celica

[STEVE-O]

my friend has a 1990 celica and it is leaking oil into the spark plugs... thats all the info I have... car ran before this problem occured so I dont think it is anything to major..... I think it might be a gasket problem causing ol to leak... I dont know alot about celicas so what do you think the problem might be and what do you think is the best way to fix it? thanks

when you buy the gasket, make sure it comes with the tube seals.

were is a good place to buy it from... i looked at napa and they dont have them

how hard is it to do?

check other local parts store. on those cars (4 cylinder right?) pull the wires and a few bolts on the cover. pull it off. clean surface. replace gasket. put it back together.

If it's really bad, I have seen those vavle covers warp before. But it's most likely just the gasket. Napa should have them.

you looked online at napa and couldn't find it or you called napa on the phone and they didn't have it?

 

I find it hard to believe that napa doesn't have a gasket for a 4 cylinder toyota.....

 

when you have the valve cover off check it with a straightedge to make sure its flat if its not make sure you straighten or replace the valve cover
