My 05 had the same problem and I looked into it and the valve cover gaskets and valve covers are one piece and they ran about 200$ when I looked a few months back what I did was use the right stuff it's a black rtv. Uses the rtv between the spark plug tube and valve cover. Did this at 72xxx now I'm at 89xxx and no leaks problem solved.

Well I ordered the valve cover and gasket and it came out to 170 for both which isn't bad due to me getting parts at cost. I will be installing them today and report back if necessary . And to anyone I offended for making a pointless thread I apologize , I did know about the valve covers leaking just didn't know I can accumulate that much oil in one specific sparkplug hole . Again sorry to anyone who feels to comment how pointless the thread was and thanks to anyone for enlightenment .

No one here was born with the complete knowledge of vq engines and their common issues . If you have the requested knowledge and are offended that the OP does not ...it's simple ...move on to the next new thread mmmmkay.remember we are all learning at different points ...just cause you know something you think everyone should it doesn't give you the right to be an ***

Thanks guys , well anyways I replaced the valve cover earlier today and it was pretty straight forward . Drive around about 45 miles worth and no leaks yet . Oh and while I was in there I changed my cylinder 2 injector as I was getting a ses light for missfire on cyl 2, hope that helps it although I still get this strange pinging sound at idle every so often . Owell a friend said he got the same so I guess I'm not to worried . Btw also threw in the megan single exhaust and it sounds nasty even with just the pop charger . This weekend full tune up !
