Go figure. It was the plug.... i switched one out from the 260E... and all is well.

I then went to the dealer and much to my surprise they had them in stock.

$3.32 and problem solved

Thanks all.

Now I am hoping the valve stem seal job will cut down on some of the oil issues I had, especially with the aging 260E
