@ 1BadBlue930. How did the fix go? Was that the problem? How much did it cost.

Valve Oil Leak

They do suck! I did mine in March with a leaky RMS. Amazing these things can leak from every where. Engine can be tilted...does not need to be removed. Cost me around $800.00 for both banks. Best of luck guys!

Your issue seems like it's the spark plug tubes. Not a bad weekend job you can do yourself.

Just a thought is to clean engine first then check for the leaks.
