ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Engine Additives

    Oil keeps leaking into my spark plug area do you think that seafoam will fix it?

    Oil leaking into your spark chambers would most likely be the seals at the top of each chamber, they sit underneath the top of the VC. Go ahead and order a set of those, try replacing them, and see if it solves the problem

      Seafoam will NOT fix it. Replace your seals as stated.

        yeah again seafoam will not fix the problem, seafoam is only meant as a fuel system/intake cleaner, and even the oil additives that state to fix leaks are only a bandaid for the problem if they do work the first time when added to your oil. Simply put, a leak is a leak if you don't have the time and money to fix it now try an additive and see if it stops but you will eventually need to get the leak fixed it must be done.

          Although Seafoam does good things, you should never put ANY additives in your fluids. Especially anything to stop leaks.

          The seals are not difficult to replace.

              Most auto parts stores carry seafoam. In my area that would be like CSK/O'Reilly, NAPA, or Autozone. Might be different in your area but I think you get the idea

              Also to the OP, you might want to just get a valve cover gasket kit instead of just buying the seals for around the spark plugs. If those seals are old and worn out enough to start leaking, chances are the other gaskets are as well. I bought the whole kit, and when I took the VC off the main gasket was cracked and hard as a rock Its not too much more to buy the kit so I say if you have the extra money go for it

                I agree with RUGER 2.2L might as well change out everything, it won't be more than 30 bucks to do and will save you possible future grief. And like deevergote said never use stop leak products they not only stop leaks but also stop your engine from operating correctly, they do more damage than good.
