Spark plug tube seal leak again!
Well guys, I haven't really been posting threads lately as I've been able to figure my own stuff out by simply reading on here or just getting to the problem and analyzing it but this time I am kind of puzzled.
Here's the problem; I have an oil leak in my spark plug tube closest to the driver side and rear valve cover. I've replaced all the seals twice but still getting a leak in that specific one. This third time (2 days ago) I went ahead and attempted to just Jimmy-Rig and pray that the black RTV would help out but I still see a hint of oil on my coil. Its really pissing me off and I don't know WTF do to.
The tube itself doesnt seem bent or out of shape... I don't think the valve cover could be bad, or could it?
Anyone have this issue before? if so, how did you correct it?
For reference, I have used OEM seals all 3 times.
Thank you!

This happened with me and my Accord before. Not sure if it would be the same for you. But the mechanic said I was using oil that was to thin. Told me to use high mileage oil and it went away. Hope that helps maybe. Best of luck.
