Hi all i have just gone to change my spark plugs and there seems to be a lot of oil in the spark plug wells. It is to the top of the spark plug, which is about 90mmm  Shocked  
 
Any sugesstions on what I weed to do now it starts and runs still and goes well. I have my ideas but wondering what any of you think?
 
Regards

Looks like you need to replace the rocker cover gaskets  Smiley

If the sparkplugs are loose you can get a buildup of oil in the plug holes.
