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'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.
