Changed the plugs today....one of the Spark Plug Socket Connectors had oil in and around it.

Any ideas?

Oring's on the spark plug tube's need to be replaced. Heat and time kill em. Easy to do.

What year is your car? 2002 and previous years had a sleeve for each spark plug the orings leak on either end. R&R the sleeve with porsche special tool or a small hooked oring puller and replace the 2 orings. 03 and later nolonger have a sleeve. There is an oil seal between the head and valve cover a little more complicated the valve cover has to be removed, and the seal replaced.
