need help oil leak...
so i went to take my sparkplugs out today and noticed that in cylinder 2 and 4 there was oil all over the spark plug boot...i checked the spark plugs to c if they were cross threaded.... thought maybe that could be it but they were fine... so idk were the oil is comin from... someone told me that it could be a valve cover gasket... anyone have any ideas??

there are little ring seals where the valvecover meets the head. Since the oil was on the boot that is what it will be.
