i can see the sparks coming out the spark plug hole?
 
I was addin g some brake fluid and noticed what looked like sparks coming from where the spark plugs are only one of them was doing it. there are sparks flying out of the spark plug hole that isnt normal is it? whats wrong here...

Either the spark plugs are loose (tighten them), replace the spark plugs (they are cracked or faulty), or replace the spark plugs wires (they are bad)...

i will check it out
 
thanks, i was not sure if it was normal to see that happen...

No, it is not normal.
If you can see sparks or even "glowing", you've got voltage leakage, and this is BAD.

You might want to try some "dielectric" (read: non-conductive) grease in the boots to see if this will cure your problem.

Maybe wrong plugs.
