OIL LEAKING

For some time now my x been leaking oil ,but i never knew where it was coming from and i still don't .From time to time i see drops of oil here and there.dont have a clue. while upgrading my ignition coils to high performance and changing my sparks plugs due to a ignition misfire I noitice in one of the sparks plugs chambers there was oil around the threads,Could this be a VALVE COVER GASKET PROBLEM? Other than that the X running fine no misfire for now.( Help is really needed ):dunno:

Pretty common issue with the X. Here is a thread I started awhile back when I discovered the same thing.

I should pull the same plug and see if the leak is gone since I replaced the valve cover gaskets.

By the way, what ignition coils did you upgrade to? Notice any difference?

I have been debating on getting those. Do you really feel a difference?

Me too. Especially since they are on sell right now. There is not much else I can do to squeeze power out of this X.
