I pulled a plug wire to check the spark plug. The well where the plug goes in was filled with oil? About one inch around the plug why is that?
THANK YOU GUYS

ok i find what you need to replace, the o rings that seal the valve cover to the head where the spark plugs are has gone bad you need to replace those its very simple to do also
the felpro gasket kit is VS50460R its like 22.99 at autozone
here is a quick how-to
1. disconnect the oil feed sensor, it is on the left side of the valve cover, on top, near the upper part of the valve cover
2. disconnect the crankcase ventilation tube, its on the top on the right side of the valve cover
3. ok you need to remove the appearance cover(which you know how to do)
4. remove the spark plug wires(you know how to do this too)
5. remove the upper part of the front engine cover, there are four bolts for this, two on each side, then set the cover aside for now
6. ok now you can remove the valve cover, remove the nine bolts holding it in and the valve cover should come off
now you can replace the spark plug o-rings and the valve cover gasket
BEFORE you put the valve cover back on with the new gasket make sure to clean the mating surface REALLY WELL, otherwise you could have leaks again, you can clean it with brake cleaner, and if there is any old gasket stuck on there CAREFULLY scrape it away with a scraper or razor blade, dont gauge the mating surface or as before it may leak
now that that is cleared up the bolt torque
the torque for the bolts on the vavle cover are 7 nm or about 5 ft-lbs, or 61 in-lbs
the front cover bolts are toqued to 10 nm or about 7 ft-lbs, or 88 in-lbs
everything else is just going in reverse
