The spark plug tube seals are pretty common and a regular maintenance issue. Something to take care of soon, but not a deal killer at all. Valve cover gaskets are a lot less common failure. I expect the dealer added that on and it may not be leaking (Check with PPI).

This needs to be verified (PPI) and fixed if it is leaking. It involves removing the transmission and is a great opportunity to get the IMS bearing done if the RMS needs to be replaced.

A regular maintenance item, but should have been replaced before it got to leaking. A pump failure would be a big problem.

'The 986 Forum' generally recommends an oil change every 6 months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first. Do not ask "What is the best oil." ...search.
