Okay, so I go and change my valve cover gasket she's all fine and dandy. I did notice though when I pulled the #3 Sparkplug wire I noticed it was covered in oil. Surely this is not something you want to happen. Did I break something?? Maybe overtighten a sparkplug (I have never touched them on this car, only dealerships have)

I've seen this before but never on my car so I didn't care. Anybody know what's going on?!?

you probly have a busted spark plug seal gasket.... try replacing it, i believe each spark plug has a lil gasket at the bottom. your gonna have to pull the valve cover off again.

You're talking about the little rubber piece that sits on under side of the valve cover correct?

I guess that's right thinking about it now I guess it can't really get in anywhere else other than from above the sparkplug tube. I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
