As the title says, pulled my plugs tonight and the plug in the far back passenger side was covered in oil, the one in front of that just had oil on the top part of it. The rest of the plugs were dry.
Bad plug sleeve? Gasket?
Cool glad you found where the problem is. No spark fouled from the oil. (My leaky injector would foul the plug out causing mine) so was prob same feeling too. A cylinder out.
When I looked around was hard to identify but seems there's a gasket and three tube seals on each side per head. Probably tube seals are the problem. Not sure if they come as a whole kit or separate.
The tubes appear to run into the head. Not sure if they're stationary or can be removed. Or where the seal sits. Haven't had to mess with any. Hope the dealer knock it out quick for ya
Edit:
Also a sign of mechanics just aren't the same anymore. Can't recreate the problem so it's ok!!! Old school guy would have prob pop out those plugs first thing. Times have changed. If the computer don't say so it didn't happen. Best of luck.

Thanks for the pictures man! Unfortunately I'm out of town for work, trucks at home until next week, hopefully they'll get me in then.
The plugs nor the seal are shown that I could find.
I post the picture to show the tubes in the cylinder head. And I thought it was cool too..
Else where I found gaskets valve cover gasket and tube seals separate. Said was for 3.5 Eco. But IDK. No pro here.
She's going in to the dealership service department this next Tuesday, we shall see what the verdict is then.
Sucks having to wait that long but due to work I won't be back in town till then, Trucks sitting at home.
