revo glow plugs

today i burned three glow plugs, and I'm on my fourth. why would my car be burning through these glow plugs like that?

Are you breaking the coils on them? What do they look like when you take them out? Chances are you may be a tad too lean, but hard to tell without a few more details.

when i take them out there just really dirty, and moist. How do you break the coils?

What do you mean dirty. As in there are particles on them? If there just really dark, then your running extreamly rich, start to lean it out a little if so.

today i leaned it out and i still burned a glow plug in only one tank??

i found the problem. i was missing an engine screw in the bottom, which caused a small leak. according to the leak my glow plug burns out really fast. is that right??

Yes, an air leak will cause your engine to run leaner and probably is why you were burning plugs out.
