Quoted From skim3544:
It is possible to get the oil through the cylinders only if your piston rings are so warn that it would pass the oil through. A piston ring (usually the bottom one) is responsible for wiping down the oil as the piston moves. But if your rings are warn enough, it will let the oil through and the air pressure will eventually shoot it through the spark plug seals. But in my experience most of the cars with this problem was due to leaking valve cover gasket. I had one car that was doing blowby but most of the oil was shooting up to the intake system and only the tips of the spark plugs were fouled.
I appreciate your input but the plug side is dry and it’s more of a oil that’s weeping in the spark plug tube ..this enging has over a hundred thousand mile on it and I’m thinking that I might have to pull that valve cover and look closer at the tube seal but I can’t find a exploded view of that area on the internet and I wanted to see how that assembly went together.
