then probably do that. oil in your cylinders usually means rebuild time.

Oil in plugs

Imo juat carry a jug of cheap oil, and bag the thing till it dies. Push to scrap yatd, or grt friend to pull you

Start saving for a new vehcile, yesterday if possibl

Some oil on the plugs? Or flooding the cylinders?

Oil on the plugs may just be the valve cover gasket which is a common problem.

Oil on electrode of the plug or the threads?

If it's just on the threads it could be the valve cover... If it's on the electrode, refer to previous post.
