filth around plugs...

[gerard@dockside.co.za]

Hi!

Just curious about this. Had a look in the engine bay
a few days ago. Around the base of each plug there seems
to be a mix of liquid and grit. What is this? Petrol (gas),
I assume. What's causing it? Incorrectly installed plugs?
It's around all the plugs.

I'm looking to do a "service" this weekend (oil, much needed
new belts, plugs). I am heading back to the 25W50 dino
oil, I went straight to synthetic over a year ago and then
had oil pressure problems, I've moved onto a synth-dino
blend and am now heading back to the world of stock oil
requirements until Mobil 1 finally gets here in the proper
viscocities.

Anyway, what is wrong with the plugs that causes the fluid
around the seats?
