      oil on spark plugs

      I just changed my spark plugs and noticed fresh oil on two of them. Only have 60,000 miles on the 2004 aveo. Looks like I need to have a compression check done. Just replaced the pcv valve, which I've heard might be the problem. Any other ideas?

      Was the PCV valve bad? Chances are that is was just blow by and you have nothing to worry about.

      I would go ahead and do the compression test irregardless.
      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      Yep, it was the pcv valve. Got everything checked out at the shop, and the plugs are dry.
