another question about 74 spider



this one should be quick. if all goes well I'll be picking up the 74
spider around the 20 to 25th of january, and I will be double checking
this item then. In the meantime, here's my question.

Based on the pictures I've seen, the engine looks as I would expect it to.
The engine looked clean, however, there appeared to be some oil down in
the well where the first plug was. Using paper towel I collected some of
it and it looked like fairly clean oil. The seller indicated that he must
have spilled some oil when he poured it in. Given the location of the oil
cap and the plug this certainly seems plausible. Does it seem plausible to
the rest of you? The car ran smooth at idle and up on the freeway -
admittedly I didn't push it hard though. Certainly didn't act like a plug
was fouled, though it the car did have bosche platinum plugs.

Thanks,
Greg
