Default Motor oil in 3 of 4 coil pack chambers. Please adivse

I find small amounts of motor oil in 3 of the 4 coil pack chambers. What parts are required to repair this problem? Is it an easy task or does it require professional serive? If so, how much will it cost?

Thanks,

Change your valve cover gasket. I have the same problem. I just got one from the dealer for $40. You can probably get is cheaper online. There is a write-up in the tech articles. It's suppose to be a 1-2 hours job.

You need a new valve cover gasket.
You might also want to inspect your breather system. Sometimes the oil is an indication your breather system is clogged and excess pressure is building up in the valve cover causing the oil to blow out the gasket.

We've got all the parts you might need!

If you are anywhere near mechanically competent (can you chang your own spark plugs) this is a 1hr job. Just hope the cam chain tensioner isn't leaking too. That a bit more tricky.
