Picture attached of a 2.7L engine without the intake manifold.
Orange color in picture is where the oil puddle is.
Blue circled part is the valve cover.
My plan was to simply replace the valve cover gasket and make a DIY write up for everyone.
But looking through numberous Porsche parts suppliers including Pelicanparts, I cannot find a valve cover gasket for sale. All I can find is a valve cover sealant.
So my question is. Did Porsche even install a valve gover gasket? Or did they use this sealant to seal the valve cover?

Does anyone think that the oil could possibly be seaping out of the intake manifold gasket? It is normal for some small amounts oil to get into the intake manifold gasket.
I may as well just replace the sparkplugs at the same time since I will be removing the side engine cover behind the rear wheels.
