My car has been misfiring at random times during the last week or so. Decided to take a look today, and found a small pool of oil around spark plugs 1/2 & 5/6, pugs 3/4 were unaffected . I cleaned the area as best I could and pulled the plugs, and the were covered with motor oil (may leaked down since it was hard to clean it all). I didn't see any leaks from the valve covers (had the gaskets replaced about 2-3 years ago). I'm going to take another look tomorrow, but what do you guys think? Any help is appreciated.

The oil is either coming from the valve covers or those big ass allen plugs. Dont try to reseal the lower allen plugs.
