Default Replaced Coil Pack--Oil Leak

I had a coil pack (3rd one back, on the right side) blow out a couple of weeks ago on my 2003 5.7. After wrestling the remains of the old one out of there and replacing it, I've developed a small oil leak coming from underneath it. What could I have done to cause this? Is there an O-Ring under there that I could have knocked out of place? It's not a major leak, but it is a concern.

Yeah there is an o-ring under the valve cover to keep oil out. You might need to pull the VC and inspect/replace accordingly.

I'm not familiar with the Hemi (never owned one) but if it's like most engines these days you've got spark plug tube seals, valve cover gaskets, and valve cover bolt grommets that should probably all get replaced together when you go in there.

Hey auburnmdw. Check this out.
I got these from this company that Weed suggested very recently, while I was on vacation in Florida.
This company is first class and Art is a top man there.
