Just doing little service on the car b4 I put her up 4 sale an found oil all over the spark plugs would be from the rocker cover gasket or head gasket, plz say rocker cover
 
Top of the spark plugs (white bit) will be a rocker cover gasket, not so bad.
Bottom of the spark plug (electrode bit) is worse, head gasket, rings stem seals etc.
 
ive just got a new rocker gasket see if that sorts it, but gd old british weather and the hevans have opened
 
rocker/cam cover gasket.

if you take the plugs out to change them the oil will drop into the cylinders. it'll smoke for a couple of minutes when you start it up. it's ok tho.
 
if it was the head gasket wouldnt there be signs of it in other places
