I have a rough idle problem and thought i'd change the spark plugs, i noticed the rightmost sparkplug's thread was covered in oil and the others werent. Only the thread had oil on it. Could this be a leak thats interrupting the spark to that last cylinder? Is there a seal or something I can replace? Any help appreciated, thanks.

My impreza had this issue, easy fix, new O rings, valve cover gasket, easy on a inline 4 banger because there all up top, I had 2 on each side since its an flat 4 motor, very crampted space when taking the cover off
 regardless, not a huge problem just general upkeep. should be less then an hours work, when I did mine it was 5 hours, but also did the timing belt at the same time.the gasket kit for this job cost me $38 ish from B&B auto parts. (over 100 from the dealer and they sold me the wrong parts thus went to b&b.) --------------------  |
