Oil in the valve spring area is normal - you want your springs, cam etc. to be bathed in oil. If it is leaking out of the valve cap you either need a new gasket, or your bolts have come loose, or maybe your cap is warped/scored.

yup, oils leaking out because of a bad gasket, or the cap / cap o-ring is screwed up..


if there was no oil up there, you'd know it in a hurry :D
