Nissan Primera 1.6L - Advice please for problem with Nissan Primera - Xenajo

I have oil gathering in the bottom of one of my spark plugs which in turn I believe is why my car isn't starting. Anyone know what maybe the problem and solution?

The car is 1994 M Reg.

Thanks

Jo

You need to find where the oil is coming from its hardly likely to be coming up from the plug itselves unless its loose and you have an head gasget problem which is hardly likely ,so it must be running down into the appeture perhaps the rocker gasket leaks or there is an oil pipe leaking in the area .Are you sure its not petrol coming from leaky injectors.

Thanks Andy, I am currently having the rocker gasket which has the seals for the sparks changed. I'm hoping that will solve the problem. Will let you know if it works. Fingers crossed. :)
