Oil leak?
Does anyone know what kind of leak would cause oil to be all over my spark plugs? I'm misfiring in cylinders 5 and 6, went to swap the coils and plugs to see if I had a bad plug. Found out all 6 plugs are covered in oil and have oil dripping off of them. Hoping it may be a simple gasket or seal

Its known that some people have had the aluminum valve cover (painted blue on the top bolts break. This can cause the valve cover gasket to leak. Id also check your valvetronic actuator to see if its leaking there.

If you have oil getting in your combustion chamber to the point that you see it on the plugs the car would be smoking like a coal train. Was the oil on the plug burnt or just wet?
