Not to make light of the situation but at least you know you got oil flowing now, I also take it the oil preasure is ack to normal? Is the oil on the plug it self or just on the boot?
Also as the archingresolved with the new wires?

actually i will be putting my tres on the car tonight along with new plugs ...should i use a non-fouler on that cylinder??
i couldnt tell if the oil had made it down into the spark plug or up from the engine if that makes sense
i will also put a new gasket on


lol your funny good thing theres oil in there though!!

i am on my way to buy some wires
ive read on here that could be the ticking lets hope as well as lets hope that the valve cover is the leak

If the oil is just on the boot and not on the plug it self the non fouler will not make a difference but then again they go for 6 - 7 bucks depending where you go so if you got a couple extra bucks it may save you trip back in case you find the oil on the plug. From the sounds of the location of the oil and splatter it will be the valve cover gaskets. so the fouler is up to you but I don't think it is necessary in the larger scheme of things with the ticking noise.
