Oil leak found on the top of the engine?

[1995E]

I found some oil at the top of the engine. It is on one of the plastic cylinder covers. The oil is coated all over what seems to be a sparkplug or some sensor. Should I be concerned? I will post a picture soon.

Here are the pictures. This is the only thing I see covered in oil.

I cannot see your pics for some reason. From what your saying sounds like your valve cover gaskets are leaking oil. You have the main rectangle shaped gasket for the valve cover, then within each valve cover you have 3 spark plug bung seals & 2 vct seals on each cover. So you have a total of 12 valve cover seals that need to be replaced if your doing both valve covers plus the intake manifold gasket because that has to come off to get to the rear valve cover. While your in there I would replace the spark plugs too for peace of mind. This is on the N/A 3.5 motor

The member that you quoted, guessing it's 1995E, was last seen here on November 29, 2020 so likely isn't following any longer. The pics can't be pulled up because they were posted using a 3rd party hosting site and therefore were not saved to our servers.
