Going to torque down the valve cover bolts this weekend to see if that is it. Also De-grease the engine shield.

I have read that in the 03 S that it does not have the plastic spark plug tubes as earlier models and that the O ring/spark plug tube seals are now integrated into the valve cover or cylinder heads. True or false?

What parts are needed to fix if so? Searched here and Pelican but could not find anything that was conclusive.

TIA
2003 and new Boxsters do not have removable plug tubes, they metal and cast into the cam covers.
