Best Answer

Ignition coils contain oil for cooling purposes. If your ignition coil has begun to leak it is only a matter of time before it fails. When it fails you won't be able to generate a spark to ignite the fuel in your engine. It would be best to replace your ignition coil now before it stops working.
