I found oil in 3 of the spark plug wells on my 99 RL. After doing some research, it appears the spark plug seals need to be replaced. That will involve taking off the valve cover. Has anyone does this before, and willing toshare tips on what to do? It lookscrowded on top of the valve cover. Alsowhat parts should I order to get this job done? Thanks in advance.

 

I ordered the parts from the dealer and the shop charged me around 270$. It looks a lot of work, you need to disconnect a lots of tubes and wires.

 

Lefteye, where you from?

 

Thanks for the heads up. I was hoping I can tackle the project myself. If taking it to a shop will make life easier, then that is what I will do.

It's been a month since I found oil in my spark plug wells. I cleaned it out then. I have been checking the wells every week and there is NO oil. I have driven over a thousand miles since. So it appears I do not have a leaked seal. Does anyone know how the oil got there in the first place? Thanks.
