You probably mean that the spark plug wells are filling with engine oil due to a leaking valve cover gasket. The oil you see is on the external white insulator of the plug, not on the inside cylinder electrodes. The spark plug wires should be wet with oil as well. Your engine is probably fine and all you need to do is have the valve cover removed and the gaskets changed as shown in the link below.

depending on the situation resulting from the oily plugs,


you may need to do a compression test to see if you have blow-by caused by bad rings, or a clogged pcv valve.


that is if the car turns over and doesnt start. check for spark, sounds like your getting fuel, if you have a check engine light you may have to check the codes being thrown, and refer to a manual to see the potential problem. if you car isn't sparking, you can check the distributor, possibly a bad ignitor module.


you may be able to simply replace the spark plugs. with a little more information such as what happened when it quit running, if it had any history of burning oil or lack of power, if your getting spark, fuel, and the timing is correct, if the vehicle still turns over or doesn't at all. with that information it would be much easier to help pinpoint your problem. this information should get you started. I'm assuming it is a b18 non vtec integra. also if it is turning over slower than normal, you may have a starter that may be going bad.

It seems like you have worn piston ring. That major repair dollars.

If you decide to get the engine rebuild, make sure it is done by a real and regular engine rebuilder. Most mechanic hardly EVER do this job and can easily screw it up.





the good news is that the engine will be almost like new after the rebuild.











Good Luck...
The wet plugs can't give enough spark to fire the gas in the cylinders. And, if you have 3 out of 4 plugs oil-soaked, I'm betting you've got fried piston rings in the engine. Not good, my friend.
