so after a brisk trip to orlando (2 hour drive) i went to pull my ecu fuse because i almost ran out of gas (low fuel on a hill) and i notice a leak on top my valve cover. today i took a look at my leak to find it's comming from the spark plug tube on the #2 pistion (what would the the front of the engine closest to the radiator) well i pulled the coil pack and cleand it up, now there wasnt any oil in the tube just around it but my engine was dusty as hell and there was some crud to clean up.

now is it just the spark plug tube gaskets in the head or the seal around the tube i need to replace, and where the hell can i get the tube around the coil pack.

personaly i'm just hoping it just needed to be cleaned.
