yeah it's normal if the car was running. to replace the tube seals you need to remove the valve cover.

Yes, It's Normal.

There are actually two sets of Spark Plug Tube seals.
1) The ones on top, directly under the valve cover. and
2) The lower ones, located under the Camshaft/rocker shaft assembly.

Whenever I do this job, I go straight to the lower ones. They contribute 90% of the time to this condition so I do BOTH the lower's AND uppers at the same time.
