Found oil in the spark plug housing?!?!!

Sounds like you didn't snug a coil pack enough or too much and cracked one.
Re-check em, if you read the code you could determine which one(s).

Bad or missing O ring on the tube? Maybe you fouled a plug installing it with all that oil you've described?

Thanks Sputter! I will check all coil packs again tomorrow.
I'm not sure I could have fouled the plug since I cleaned all the oil I could get prior to de-installing the old one and placing the new one in, but I will also check while I'm at it!

I am not sure about what O-ring you mention...

Hey bro,

Go to this web site;

It's Suncoast Porsche, once you see the tube you'll understand that you can change out yourself. With the plug removed you can grab the tube and pull it out and install the new one. Remember to lube the o-rings first before installing so you don't cut one and cause another leak.

Thanks man. The weird thing is that there was no o-ring on any of the tubes when I got them out...
and I still wonder where the oil came from...

Make sure they didn't fall off and are still inside the valve cover! I'd hate to have those floating around the valve train and oil galleys.

alright you're worrying me. considering how hard it is just to access the spark plugs I'm not sure how I would even begin to check that!
The only thing that makes me think they weren't there in the first place is the fact that they were missing from all the coil packs and I was also very careful in the removal process and it never felt like anything was coming off...

OK, I think we need some help here from forum members in the know of how these engines are put together. Question; Are they initially put together without the O rings and replacement parts now come with O rings or did someone mess with his engine and not install them or is it possible that all the O rings fell off?

There are some very talented people on this forum and I hope they chime in, quick!
