had problems with the car for a bit, car would bog down when getting to around 4krpm onwards...started to check if cams were switching on, checked solenoids, they were fine, removed them to make sure there weren't any blockages, none found, checked all other stuff, but not plugs, doh....
so got round to checking them today, #1 and #4 were dry, with signs of it running rich, but #2 had slight amount of oil on it....pulled #3 and was shocked to see it totally covered in oil...
check the pic...

suppose I could say I found the cause of my problems...didn't have any time to get the VC off today, will do over the next couple of days, but wanted to know, as most of the oil was on the plug thread, am I right in fearing this is worse than just a problem VC gasket?...
