So I got my spark plugs changed today, but ran into a problem. The front driver's side spark plug had oil on it. So we tried draining most of the oil before pulling out the plug, the guy said it may be a bad valve cover gasket. Any ideas on what it could be and how much to fix. Thanks

 

easy pull the cover change the spark plug gasket looks like this "O" unless it's built into the main valve cover gasket like on some cars. Never the less I would change both the main gasket and the spark plug gasket while you have it taken apart.

I also recommend you do both sides and while you are at it change your spark plugs since you'll already be in there.

And since you'll already be in there, might as well do a new valve cover gasket too.

 

Thanks for all the help and quick responses, I'll order it today and try to fix it next weekend.

 

yes, change the spark plug o ring gasket and the valve cover gasket as well

 

Is this the correct part number for the valve cover gasket?

11214, since you said it was the drivers side bank.

 

should i just replace the driver's side since only that side is messed up or both sides?

 

if you want.. the other side will eventually leak
