oil leaking thru spark plug 1980 Monte Carlo
#4
V6? V8? need more specifics? and i don't see how you vould get oil from there, there is no oil passage near them unless you block is 10 quarts over and just pissing past the ring/valve seals and the spark plugs are loose
now if the tip of it is fouled with oul then usually the culprit is valve seals or rings

It was when i got a month ago but the water pump was bad so I replace it other that its been running good. I also cant find an exuast leak that I cant find but can hear it in the same area. It has dual exuast on it not from the factory.

i would think its bad rings. you could have a head gasket issue if you drove it around overheating constantly. you could do a compression test to see whats up with the rings. it could also be the seals or guides, but when its that it usually only smokes during start ups and sitting for a while not while driving around. i guess the cheapest route would be do a compression test if all is in line switch plugs and run it a few times and re check the plug/plugs. if its the rings at that point i would invest in a rebuild kit or pick up a 350 and rebuild that.

i would say it is one of two things or both. the valve guide seals are gone out the door and leaking. the other that ties in with the work is the valve springs and lifters. they to will wear out the valve guid seals like a thief in the night. i would do that then after that if it does it again it would be the rings on the pistons. but when they go you will hear botom end chatter and really heavy black smoke out the rear and the oil will smell heavy with gas
