I would suggest one of two choices.

Either replace it proactively.

Or clean the area good, and check it again in a little while (couple weeks)

Maybe it leaked at some point, maybe it stopped, maybe it is road grime,

Maybe it only leaks under pressure.

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!
