Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Engine oil leaks onto top of spark plugs and exhaust manifold. leaks seem to be most prevelant when the engine is warming up. i've had the entire gasket kit replaced twice. occasionally there is enough oil accumulation to cause a light smoke to be seen for just a minute and the vehicle has always had an accompanying oil smell. oil is not leaked into combustion chamber and no oil leaks onto the ground. problem does not seem to be rectifiable and dealer won't fix the problem without me paying 100% each time. problem has caused degradation of spark plug wires and once almost caused an accident when a plug loosened and failed while climbing a mountain pass.*ak
