    My niece left off her 01 Accord from me to look over because of a rough
    idle. It runs great otherwise.

    I picked up a set of Champion fine wire Irid plugs. when I pulled out each
    of the old plugs the upper portion [outside of the cyclinder hole] were
    drenched in oil. Each plug mind you. Where did this oil come from and what
    is the fix?

    Richard.

    The rubber O-rings that seal off the spark plug tubes from the oil inside
    the valve cover. They're leaking and in need of replacement. Do a valve
    adjustment while you're in there.

    What engine have you got? The newer VTEC engines don't have any rubber O-
    rings, but instead have long tubes that are part of the head.

    see the accord wire question from 2 days ago - replace the "b" gaskets.
