I have a 2001 dodge caravan. After driving it for a couple of hours and turn it off, it will not start. It will turn over, but will not ignite. I took to a mechanic and he checked the fuel pump and filter. These were fine. He told me he found oil in the spark plug holes and there was too much oil pressure. My caravan has 132,000 miles on it. The engine size is a 2.4 liter

Did he hooked-up a mechanical oil gauge to confirm that its too much pressure-a bad valves/rings will make oil enter the combustion chamber.

Best thing to do is do a compression and cyl. leakage test.
