My car is a 1993
When you plugs are always covered in oil thats a good sign the gasket is bad ,oil leaking from the gasket is also other sign.

The gasket cost $38 or $39 dollar for the set.
It has been raining all week thats why I have not done it yet, but I am thinking of over hauling the entire engine. I have oil leaking all over the place

the saint is right again...
yepper ...when you got a little oilpool going on top of your sparkplugs , then you know it's time for that kinda work...
i overhaul mmine as well , as my engine also not just leaks , but is kinda wimpy with acceleration... my 92 929 was way faster (could be also the changes mazda did on the 93 engines)
