ok last time when i worked on my waterpump and timming belt i noticed oil inside spark plug 2 (from drivers side) had oil in it. i said o well and bought all new gaskets for everything. recently i looked in there and with teh spark plug in place their was still oil in there. i cleaned that out before as well. why now, 3 months later, ihave oil in there again? anything else causing it?
thanks

did you replace the rubber seals on the bottom side of the valve cover? There is 1 for each plug

How about this, the spark plug tubes are made in 2 pieces with a seal in the middle. Thats the only thing left, that would let oil in your tubes. To replace theses seals you must remove the rocker assembly.

well last week i cleaned out oil out of there again, and today i was going to take it off and i see there is no fluid in my hole. so i said forget it. next time it happends im putting some rtv sealent on there, the haynes manual says so, i just never have.
so i guess the problem is fine for now. next time, next time.
