I took the spark plugs out and there is oil inside the whole . its not burning oil but
I see oil around the spark plugs . I that a big job looks like the engine block is deep
I am guessing that in order to fix that I need to open the valve cover gasket but not sure
how easy is to replace the seal . looks you need to open the engine ? any Idea ?

looks like a seal around the spark plug not sure . Your the expert on that!
