I was driving my S.H.O. down the road the other day, and got behind a slow 
car.  So as I turned onto a different road, he turned also.  There was a 
short passing lane that ended about 1000 feet from where you turn on.  So i 
decided to pass.  I pull out beside him and gas it.  I turned about 5k 
RPM(my brother was fallowing me so i had to get him around the slow guy 
too.)  About 3 miles later i was doing 55 and turning rather low (2200) RPMs 
and the whole car started to shake.  I drove on for about 10 more miles to 
see if it would go away, but it did not.  So I pulled into a gas station, 
and raised the hood.  I got to looking around (im not that good of a 
mechanic) and pulled out the plug wire for the hell of it.  I noticed oil on 
the fitting that goes around the plug and there was even more oil 
surrounding the plug.  So I pulled out the remaining two plug wires on the 
front of my 1993.  They had the same problem.  I wiped the oil off the 
fittings and tried to get as much out away from the plug as possible.  I 
checked the oil level to be safe and it was on full.  I closed the hood and 
took off, and the car DID NOT shake again, and has not for about 2 weeks.

Does anybody know what is wrong, how to fix it, if it is an easy fix, and 
how much it would cost me?
