There is Oil in the number 1 spark plug right bank and it is causing my car to smoke from the right side exhaust. It seems as if the oil is there on the tip of the plug without running down the outside of the threads, it has a compression of 150psi and the one next to it is the same. Has anybody els had this problem? Or any ideas? I am going to change all the seals and gaskets this week to see if it makes a difference. but I dont think it will as it seems to be internal. I have been told it may be the valve stem oil seals or a blocked cat, I have checked the oil seperator and it seem fine. Also, what oil should I be using? Cheers Mac PS Checked the coil and changed the plugs, the oil is getting onto the spark plug tip from the inside.

Just found out today my gearbox is shagged, does anybody know any good places to get them rebuilt/replaced? Also any ideas on costs?? Its a 2002 4.4 v8 petrol same box as the x5 I think. Distance isn't a problem as we use a courier at work. Thanks in advance for your help! Mac
