When changing the spark plugs, I was unpleasantly surprised by 2 of them being covered in oil. Of all possible reasons, the valve cover gasket leaking would be the most logical, and easy to fix, reason. So, let's get the cover off, install a new gasket, and while I'm at it, rattle some paint cans.

Closing notes:
As much as I think that working on your car is both great fun and very cost-effective, any work you do on your car is at your own risk. I made a best effort to correctly state all torques, tools, etc, but double check these before you follow any of the steps shown in this video. Please work safely - I've been saved by good safety equipment more than once. Don't do stupid things - don't work under a car supported only by a jack, don't use sharp tools without protective gloves, and do get yourself a nice pair of safety goggles.
