Basically 3 weeks ago i washed my engine and got water in the 4th cyliner spark plug !! darn!! so the next day i dried it etc.  but then i started noticing vapor shooting up from around the shifter in the car!!  (i dont have a boot n e more)
so i unscrewed the plate and removed the rubber and i noticed there was oil spilt around there.  so i wiped it off.  then the vapors stopped.  now 3 weeks later it is doing a bit again every now and then.  
could it be:

1. an oil leak (  i think my car has a MINOR SUPER SLOW leak under the engine. i know, i know i should get it checked)

or

2.  air conditioner leak?? cuz i usually have the air con on when it happens.

thanks!!
