    Bubbles on dipstick

    I agree, I don't think I have too much oil in to be causing the bubbling. - Perhaps it's normal and I just need to let it sit a few minutes before checking. If a seal was loose like you suggested, would there be any other problems i should look at? I'm wondering if I need to have it replaced...

    oil on spark plug #6

    it was on the on the threads, - it had not appeared to foul the electrode. I don't think it's the head gasket, due to no additional signs or problems. the spark plug tube/well gaskets seem to be the likely problem - i've heard that if it was the valve cover gasket there would be oil on the...

    2007 4runner spark plugs

    I just changed my spark plugs with the OEM Denso's on my '06 2wd v6 - they work great. I noticed that on plug 6 there was a little bit of oil on it. do any of you know what could cause that? everything else is working fine. I really don't want to take it into the dealership for their opinion.
