Replacing driver side valve cover - should I do the other one while I'm at it?
 
Plug over cylinder 6 is leaky. I let it go for a while but now it's time to fix it.

While I'm in there, do you guys recommend I replace the other valve cover? I haven't heard of anyone leaking over cylinder 1, 3 or 5 - just seems like the drivers side one 2, 4 and especially 6 go bad. The right side one is currently not leaking.

Already kind of putting a maintenance package together so I'm trying to budget this out and avoiding another $200 or so would be nice if it's not really necessary.

Car has 127,000 miles.

Pull your coilpacks and/or plugs. if there's wet oil on top of the plug base, it's time. If you are taking the time to do 1 bank, just do both so you don't have to worry. gl.

I just did both for piece of mind and while it was tore apart I figured I should. If its been a while for plugs may as well do them too. Good luck it was a ***** (esp the pass side)

Plugs are newish, 10,000 miles. Iridium IX. I'm just replacing the one over #6 that has the leaky seal.
