Oil on spark plug

[IJW84]

I’m changing plugs and found oil on this plug and also was all over my socket as I pulled it out. Anyone know the cause of it or if it will cause issues down the road.
No issues yet or CEL since I’ve owed this going 4 years.

My guess is your spark plug tube seal is bad. I think it will only get worse and leak more which I’d think would cause it to not fire as well which probably be most notable at idle and may cause a rough idle. I would imagine would cause oil loss through blow by. Mind you I’m not a mechanic just an educated guess for years of working on my own stuff. Me personally I would address sooner rather than later. Hope my 2 cents help.

This for sure. If your spark plug socket was covered in oil you need valve cover gasket set which comes with the oring for the spark plug tubes.

Give Benny @AllMoparParts.com a shout in the vendor section and he will set you up with some gaskets.

Hello All
I just replaced spark plugs on my 2017 Ram 1500 with 93k miles. On the passenger side all plugs were dry with the exception of 3rd from fire wall. It had a thin layer of oil about 1/4 of the way up on threads. I want to get this looked at and corrected. Do you think this is a piston ring issue or hopefully something minor? Thanks for your help.
