OK, so its just a matter of replacing the valve cover gasket. That isn't that big of a deal.

Is this a common issue with the V8 X5?

I am going to guess the 02 sensors have never been changed, 67,***.

What about the replaced coil pack? Think the oil leaking had something to do with it needing to be replaced?

I didn't notice some better mileage with these new plugs.
