cylinder #5 full of oil
went to replace a worn out spark plug connector on cylinders #5 and #6 and found clylinder #5 FULL of OIL... i checked the sparkplug seating and it's rather firm and tight.
what's the problem... is there an easy fix? how long for a do-it-yourselfer (but first timer) to do such a project?

no worries, changing the valve cover gasket will take care of it. There are rubber o-rings that
surround each plug. It'll be part of the gasket set. The drivers side is a little easier to do than the pass side because there's less in the way.

i checked the bosch spark plugs it does NOT have a rubber o-ring
i even looked at a new one in the package, no o-ring in there either (bosch +4s)... if i put one around the plug, will that stop the oil from entering the cylinder
