Oil in Coil Pack, Spark Plugs

[RoccoRed]

Hey guys quick question...

I am changing my spark plugs now and when I took out the second coil pack it was drenched in oil...

So looks like i need a PCV fix, which i expected, question is..

Should i wait to put in my new spark plugs until i get m pcv fixed?

 

[RoccoRed]

yes i should

I found that last time i replaced my spark plugs. I couldnt tell if it was old oil from before I had my pcv replaced, or if the new pcv is bad too. I'm thinking mine is just old oil b/c I don't have any other bad pcv symptoms

Could be valve cover gasket. My GTI goes in on Tuesday for a new one.

It is the valve cover gasket.

Just a heads up here on this. VW denied my warranty on a valve cover gasket, so I just bought it and did it myself. However, the problem wasn't the gasket.

Go take a T30 torx out and make sure ALL of the bolts are tight on top of the valve cover. You don't need to remove anything to do this so you've got no excuse not to. Half of mine were all loose and not sealing the gasket.
