Hello,

It's not a Corsa, but it is a Vauxhall, and there seems to be much more imput here than over at Astra Sport.

Anyway here goes, cars a Vauxhall Astra Sport 1.6
I recently changed spark plugs on all 4 cylinders and found that cyl 3 and 4 where both covered in oil, I mean up the thread to the tip!

Am I looking at a multi hundred quid repair bill or what?
Any ideas what it could be I mean surely it can only be a number of things? Any garage test that could rule it out i.e. compression test etc...

I've been told piston rings or some sort of gasket.

Thanks
