Hey guys, I know alot of you know a ton about VWs, or cars period. As you all know, I bought a 2003 GLI a few months ago. It is the model with the 24V VR6. I recently decided I was going to take off my plastic engine cover to do some cleaning and discovered a decent amount of oil underneath my spark plugs. What could this be??? The car has about 80k on it. I did not have my camera on me at the time but I have a pic here of a stock photo of a VR6 with arrows drawn to where the oil is sitting. What would cause this???

valve cover gasket along with spark plug tube seals .not bad of a fix fairly common just get it fixed soon as it will break the rubber on the coils down and cause missfire codes and what not
