oil on engine head

Nick167 · Mar 31, 2014

I apologize for all the questions but would a cracked cylinde or piston cause oil to be coming out of a sarkpug hole on a ford 8n

There"s NO "oil" IN the head of an 8N Ford to leak.

What you are seeing is condensed leaked combustion products.

MOST likely, the gasket on the sparkplug is missing or damaged, or it is seated on a chunk of debris or the milled flat sealing surface area is damaged.

And, of course, there COULD be a crack in that area, but, likely that would leak COOLANT, as well.

The sparkplug was loose could that be it?

Nick, good chance, clean it up, put the plug in tight and run it. Chuck
