You've still got hot moist air from inside the engine compartment entering the valve. The valve stem might be a bit rusty because of that.
What have you done to your P5 today?

CAI came today, also the donut gasket for my headers. Will put those on tonight or tomorrow. Also got 2 OBD code readers, one that hooks directly in via a cable and one that is bluetooth and hooks up to my Android phone and monitors the engine in real time! I will let you know how well they work.

Header. Not headers. And I'm interested to see how well the bluetooth plug in works with your app. I'm guessing it's the Torque app?

You are correct, header, since there is only one lol. Anyways, yeah the torque app, I wont get a chance to try it out for a bit. I will let y'all know how well it works though. I guess they have some apps for iDevices as well but they all seem to suck.
Already replaced everything, threw the CEL on cylinder 3 so just changed the plug hoping that would do it since everything else literally is fresh outta the box. Now I just have to delete the code and see if it comes back. Hope I don't have something wrong internally.

Could be a coil pack unless you already replaced that.....
2 coils on these cars. If the coil was going out, then cylinder number 2 would have an issue as well.

I had an issue with misfiring on one of my cylinders, replaced the coil pack, issue went away. However, could have been a spark plug since those were replaced while I was in there....(huh)
