If a coil is leaking is it "bad"? My coil on my 1990 7.4 VP is leaking an oil like substance from the center where the plug wire goes to.

Re: Coil

Junk. Will probably skip or miss under a load soon. Match the new one with the right resistance.

Absolutely bad. It's not a huge deal but try to get one that is epoxy filled instead of oil if possible.

Just get the correct coil for your engine.It's cheaper than getting towed...
