This car is newish to me a (a year this month) and I don't drive it much. The pics I posted here are from just one cylinder. I haven't ever seen this before. Loose plug? Even the coil pack was saturated. It always ran fine with no CEL. Your thoughts?
I put Ruthenium plugs in my M54. No noticeable difference. No change in fuel mileage either.

You have a badly leaking valve cover gasket.
