When I replaced my spark plugs a few months ago, I found the plug tubes to be dry but a weep from the valve cover was causing a dew drop of oil as per AKL.
The good old Bentleys manual show (I think) 23 securing bolts per cover - I tightened each one of them up an extra 1/8 turn and the slight weep has gone. I looked on the other cylinder bank but that was completely dry so I let sleeping dogs lie.....
