[QUOTE="vinode, post: 14272, member: 671"] Hi guys,I recently decided to service my e36 325 myself as the previous service at the shop almost cost me 8 litres of lube oil! They returned me one of the 2 x 4 litre oil bottle with less than a litre left. Since then there has been oil leaks everywhere and I suspected the overflowing due to overfill. Not to mention the sluggish engine. Anyway, when I removed the plugs they were soaked in oil. I cleaned the slots and replaced 6 new plugs. My question is, is this related to the overfill or is it a sign of something worse? Where would the oil come from? I usually service my cars and never seen oil soaked plugs like this (see picture). It drives OK though, engine feels a little lighter and no smoke etc. Appreciate your ideas. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
