i found out it is the valve cover gasket. there are two, one around the outside and one on the inside that goes right around the spark plugs and the temperature sending unit between 2 and 3. the inner gasket was very hard and warped letting the oil seep down on top of the plugs. now after all that im reading the code p2004 that says i have a intake manifold runner stuck open.... not to sure what this means...
