If the seals aren't getting oil on them, check compression to see if the rings are worn. Also, you may have to check valve seals.

I don't understand (If the seals aren't getting oil on them).
I am having issues with oil on the spark plugs and wires.
I took a pick of the seal I picked out of the spark plug cylinder.
I will do a compression test tomorrow.
And Ill see into checking the valve seals.
Is the car still OK to drive?
I am not losing or burning oil and there is no smoke from the tail pipe.Well I don't think so. Its cold here and there's steam.

I wason my way to get compression test done and now my engine is smoking like crazy.leaking from some where at the back passenger side. I never made it to get the test done.I checked if it was coming from the new valve seal. But it is dry and clean.Now Could it be the head gasket and if so would a leaking head gasket cause oil on spark plugs.Could that be the problem in the first place. And now that i put a new valve seal the pressure caused the head gasket to go?
