Oil in spark plug area
Hello everyone I am new to this community and to the Lexus brand in general so please forgive my ignorance. I own a 95 sc300 and recently went to change the spark plugs out and there is oil pooled up in the compartment that the plugs sit in. I guess when someone put oil in it they missed the hole and it spilled in there idk. Any way my question is if I get most of the oil out and take the plugs out will any damage be done if oil gets in the holes? Thanks in advance for any input.

Just put a rag in it to dry it up. It's probably coming from leaky valve cover gaskets. It took me 3 days to completely dry that off and finally be able to do my tune up back then. A little bit of oil getting in is not a problem, engine will burn it. And it's probably been seeping in it a little bit from time which gives you a white smoke from the exhaust.

Yea I used paper towels to soak up most of it the only left us in the crevices where the plugs are. The oil came from me not using a funnel when I changed the oil and some of it seeped into the compartment.
