[bmw] oil in spark plug chamber

[bmrfamly <bmrfamly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Gentlemen
   Commonly the source for oil in spark plug chamber is the engine 
combustion chamber.
   The threads on the spark plug itself form a helical leak. Even a 
properly torqued plug can have an oil leak.
   A smear/dab of anti-seize on a 30 deg arc of the bottom 4-6 threads 
will help act as a plug to minimize the oil intrusion into the spark 
plug chamber.
   As long as the leaked oil doesn't interfere with the electrical 
function of the plug, there may have been no harm done.
