Oil Everywhere :(

[slow yota]

So i get home after a long day of work friday and park the supra, Drives fine...Today, I go to do some work on the engine and there is oil everywhere around the valve covers.(I havent driven it since oct of last year, was in storage) I get to pullin the plug wire,vale covers and plugs and two of the spark plug holes have oil sitting at the top of the pistons.Is this a blown piston ring, or just bad valve cover groomets? :nono:

Most likely it is just the valve cover gaskets leaking oil down around the plugs. When you remove the plugs it will drain down onto the pistons.

Unless the car was heavily smoking before you noticed the oil, I think you will be ok once you replace the valve cover gaskets.

get valve cover gaskets, ditch the stock screws and use bolts to tighten them more but dont go too crazy or... crack...
