its a simple fix bro... its just the spark plug tube seal on the inside of the valve cover that went bad... should cost like $10-$30 for a new set of them and then all you do is unbolt the valve cover (dont forget to take the wires off and wipe the oily one down with a rag/paper towel change your plugs too just in case it got inside of it) then you just take off the sparkplug tube seals and put the new ones in and ta-da your all done! YAY!
