Icon2 FOUND OIL IN MY SPARK PLUG!!

I know this could be a simple fix but still very concerning to me.

The other day I was changing the spark plugs on my EF four door and found oil in cylinders 2 and 3, mostly in 2.

What's causing this and how serious is it???

there are gaskets under the rocker assembly that seal the spark plug tubes. if there is enough oil in there i believe it can cause a misfire by shorting out the plug.
they will be number 16 (you will need 3 of these) and one number 17

Check the gaskets in the Valve cover.
