Decided to pull my wheels off and have a gander before ordering parts for my planned maintenance.. The passenger side looked completely fine to me, the driver side looked questionable. In the first pic whatever the black plastic piece is visible on top of the rightmost coilpack had Oil on / in it. The remaining pics are of the leftmost (closest to front of car) coilpack which seemed to have a lot of stainage in and around it but not sure if that's the source

Is this caused by a bad o-ring / plug tube or do I have another problem?? When I pulled the coilpack out and felt inside the tube it felt dry. I don't have any oil on the floor and the car has been parked in the same spot for about 2.5 months.

Thanks!
