Now that the car has sat for a couple months, I replaced the plug wires. I noticed oil pooled up around the front two spark plugs. The plug wire rubber cap was sitting in the oil. Easy to soak it all up with a couple paper towels.
So, is this a simple valve cover gasket issue? Straight forward to do myself this winter?
I was also contemplating a new timing belt & tensioner after hearing other recent stories, although I did recently (2 yrs ago) recheck and re-tension mine, This time I would take it to a shop to possibly pull the engine, do full service, and fix the oil leak. But, it is an old car, sometimes it's best to just fix the leak, and not pull an engine, might discover lots of other items.
