I have just serviced my 2003 9-3 2.0t and when I removed the spark plugs number 1,2 and 3 had a lot of oil around them (around top not in cylinder). Any one have any ideas what it could be?

Hello and a warm welcome aboard the good ship saabscene Neojon
What was the colour of the plug tips ?
Sure the oil was not from an external source ? Like cam cover and just worked its way in on removal ?

Hi thanks for the reply, the plug tips where fine, no oil at all. I was thinking it could have been from cam cover, just wondered if it could have been anything else as I am new to saabs

Camcover gasket or perhaps PCV system not working well..I believe there is a valve in the cover somewhere that blocks.
