Default Oil Leaking into #3 Spark Plug Tube

While at the Honda Dealer recently, the technician had told me that there is oil leaking into the #3 Spark Plug Tube. I had recently changed the valve cover and all spark plug tube gaskets with OEM and tourqed everything down to specs. Assuming nothing is warped which I don't think there is, are there any other gaskets that I need to replace?

From reading other threads on this forum, some say there is a lower tube gasket that needs to be down as well. But I only saw this on a 1990 4-cyl F22 engine. Mine I believe is the F22B. Does mine have this as well?

If it's only the upper gaskets, is there a compund that I need to put on the gasket before installing it? Everything looked real good when I installed them about 4 months ago.

Thanks!

My car does that. We've replaced grommets and the spark plug tube seals from all 4 tubes before and it still leaks oil. Cam tower O-rings need to be replaced.

Great, thanks everyone for the replies. Look like I need to replace the lower seals.

Thanks again!
