I'ts a 2000 Toyota Camry LE 80K miles, 4 cylinders 2.2L
I changed engine oil at 77K, when checking oil dip stick, notice oil was quite low
I found no leaks at all, the car run fine, no knocking, no blue smoke at all
Checked spark plug chambers I found some oil in the #1 spark plug chamber only (no oil in the other 3), no engine light, no oil light come on. Please help

1. What is wrong
2. Can it be a DIY repair; if not what's the estimate cost.

Try using a bottle of Lucas oil stabilizer, this should help to significantly reduce the oil consumtion, I have used this product for many years with great success
