So I changed my spark plugs and coil packs yesterday. I've got oil on 3 or 4 plugs. Is this common with these on plug change? How bad do you guys think it is? Unfortunately I think I know the answer to that.

Are you sure its oil in the cylinder. Ive read some where that oil can leak past the seals in the cam cover and end up on top of the plugs. As you unscrew the plugs the oil drains into the cylinder making it look like the oil was from the cylinder when in fact it was sitting on top ?
Hello @355spider ,
I am not sure what you mean by "common with these on oil change", it has nothing to do with you changing the oil, it is most likely a few of the 6 individual seals on each valve cover that is leaking, therefore allowing the oil to gather is the spark plug/coil area.

Woops I meant plug change. Is that a pretty easy job? I already have the intake off.
