I was driving up the hill and I noticed my car was driving funny. The oil and battery light came on then the car cut off. I checked the fluids oil was at low mark, had enough Trans fluid but I did notice oil in first cylinder only and on the top that I can wipe off. cN someone help me with this problem and is it major?

So there is oil in the area where the spark plug wires go on the outside of the spark plug?Also what happens when you try to start the car?Also do you have a multi meter to do some testing?

The oil where the wires go is a bad valve cover gasket
As far as the no start do you have a crank no start or no crank no start?
