After reading all the posts about air leaks,i decided to tighten all the turbo,intercooler hoses etc,some were very loose.The hose by the firewall,all the way in the bottom,i believe air intake hose was fairly loose,i had to use a 8mm socket and a flex because such a tight area,after getting my arm out by valvecover,under the coils noticed some oil on my arm,anything to be alarmed of,car just hit 10k.
I had a seal on my valve cover that leaking and cause oil to build up around the valve cover. I caught mine early when I was changing plugs to a one step colder with about 6 miles on the car. Pull the COP off the plug by the oil on the valve cover, if it is full of oil around your plug and the boot is dripping in oil then your seal is leaking on the valve cover around that plug.

I just had my 4-5-6 bank valve cover gasket replaced (warranty work).... I also had the spark plug well seal for #6 (back driver's side) replaced as I found this spark plug well full of oil when i removed the coil to regap my plugs at 7K miles.
I'd have it looked at as it is a potentially a fire hazard...
I literally burned a car down once in my teens due to oil leaking onto the upper block.
