Oil on rear spark plug in '08 TL-S
When I went to go replace the three rear spark plugs on my 2008 TL-S, one of them, the rear one closest to the driver, had some oil on it. I tired to get as much oil out of the spark plug tube as I could.
Do I need another valve cover gasket? What could be the cause of oil in the spark plug tube? I just passed 100K miles.

no that price is all for TB/WP along withe the tube seal, the tube seal alone will cost you around $550.
yeah they did for the early 07 model, however mine is one of early early 07 model, sticker said Oct 06 and did not cause the noise described as TSB.

Hmmm. If that's the case, I might have to take a stab at the tube seal. If I just have to take off the strut bar, all associated hoses from the intake manifold, take off the air intake, and then take off the rear valve cover, that could be worth $500 right there to me.

I could get it done under 4 hours for both bank, however I got a lot of experience by working to clean the dam EGR passage on my old Accord J30A1. All you need is a day in the weekend to get the job done.
