Oil in plenum
 
Ok so my car is currently smoking white oil at start up.. Changed the spark plugs which were super wasted.. car has 94k miles. Just installed my motordyne spacer, and in the process i saw some oil in the plenum. Also, when i changed the spark plugs, to 2 rear ones had oil in them.. not much though.. What you guys think?

Its normal, its not normal if there is a standing pool of it though.

oil on the plugs is not a good sign. I would get that checked out. oil in the plenum is normal according to Motordyne haha. My car had a little bit of oil in the plenum as well. Seems like a lot of cars have it.

Installing a "Catch Can" will eliminate any oil in your plenum which I've always considered a good idea....:NOD:

I'm using a catch can from custom corvette accessories. It mounts perfectly on the passenger side of the engine. Remove the bolt that secures the power steering reservoir bracket to the chasis, align the PVC Catch Can braket hole, reinsert the bolt, tighten, secure hoses, DONE. You will suprised at the amount of oil this thing "catches".
