Valve Cover oil leak
I was changing my spark plugs today and saw oil around the valve cover. Check the bolts they all seem tight. I guess I need to replace the gasket. Anyone else have this problem.

You'll have to remove the plenum to get to the valve covers. Not too bad but not as easy as I4s

the service manual says to do it in two steps. First tighten all bolts in an order (sorry don't have pics of what order because it's a pdf file) at 9-26 inch lbs then go back again and do it at 65-82 inch lbs.
I had the service manual with me though

quick question, did you put a dab of RTV at the end of the camshaft bracket?

Oil around plugs
Just experienced a similar issue. Z1 has a good deal.
