spark plug has oil on it............

[YangG35]

I recently did a tune up on my engine, and stumbled across a spark plug wet with motor oil. according to my experience, this is due to a bad grommet seal. i called several local auto part shop, but they do not carry it. so i called the dealer, and they told me its going to be around 2bills...WTF!!!!thats to much..appearently they do not sell just the grommet seal, but the whole valve cover, and the complete valve cover gasket set...WTF!!!!anyone know where i can get just 1 seal and replace it? or does anyone has this problem before and has extra seal laying around?

There isn't a replaceable seal. You must replace the whole valve cover.

I replaced both of mine and painted them before I did the job. I think I did a write up of how to do it during the process.

Yeah man, that's pretty lame that we have to replace the whole thing...
