I just purchased a 2004 3s and noticed there was a little oil inside one of the spark plug holes (2nd on from left so not likely due to a still like I have read). No other leaks.
A little research indicates that a valve cover replacement with tube seals (~$15 from Rock Auto) will fix the problem. My question is how common is this and wondering if I should do it yet since it's only 1 plug seal and no other leaks? My daughter is about to take the car to FL for a year so I'm leaning toward doing it now since I likely won't see the car for a year.
Looks like an easy job based on You-Tube but any words of wisdom appreciated. I will be putting some new factory NGK plugs as well.
