the spark plug holes. Its probably shorting to ground through the oil also causing the miss. No big deal to replace.

I have a 92 525i that I bought only two months ago from a reputable dealer. It has started to miss as if there is a plug or injector problem. I don't know much about BMWs so I thought I would chech the plugs / wires etc. When I looked at #1 and #2 there was oil in the long tunnel the plug slips down. Is this normal? I haven't looked in the other plug areas.

Thanks - Jim
