No mate. Just noticed oil over the coil pack when I pulled it out. Also have oil on the spark plug too. Been looking on google and aparently it could be the valve cover gasket??

It'll be the inner valve cover gasket.

Going to do mine today. Looks simple tbh. Friend said it will take about half an hour.

Its really easy, just remove the bolts off the head and lift it off (coilpacks removed first) and the head will pull off, then the gaskets sit in a recess, simples
