Q: I have oil leaking onto my spark plugs.
So if you inspected the car that has oil in the spark plugs, would you be able to determine whether it was a valve cover gasket replacement repair or piston ring repair? And what is the cost to do each? I don't want to get the valve cover gasket fixed justvto find out it's really the piston rings that are bad.
