You need oil well gaskets......they're not that expeisive, and they're pretty easy to install!! Take the valve covers off, and you'll see them! Good luck!

Usually a good sig that the 60K maintenance was not done. If you try a search on 60k I am sure you can read for hours. And you will find the info you need right away also.

One of the best write up's (with pictures and arrows to illustrate motion) on removing the intake and R&R of the valve cover gaskets and plug well seals can be found at SHOpheonixproject.com.

Check your wires!

My wells were completely full of oil. When i sucked the oil out and put new seals/ plugs in, it missed like crazy, since 4 of the wires were completely cracked. Apparently the oil kept them from arcing...

New wires fixed THAT problem....
