Default leaky(?) spark plugs....

Ok. I own a 1995 Z34 w/ 200k on the engine. I recently noticed that when I start my car a fluid is comming out of my front spark plugs. I think it is oil but im not sure...I am sure that fluid is not supposed to be coming out of spark plugs.Anyone have any Idea of whats going on?

Sounds like a loose plug to me. They can and will loosen if not properly installed. Everything has to be CLEAN! It's easy to tighten it down on dirt.

Make sure it is coming from the plug and not the head gasket leaking into the plug. I know some of the Gen 5 Montes had that issue.

If not the head gasket, then I would just buy a new plug for $2 are replace it.
