Oil on spark plug threads.
I pulled all of my plugs today to see how they looked.
I found them to be whitish on the tip, which I guess is OK, just means I'm running a little lean or hot.
Here's what I'm concerned about.
I found a tiny bit of oil on the thread of cyl. #4's plug.
The plug wasn't fouled at all and looked whitish just like the rest.
Am I getting worried over nothing or is it something I should look into a little deeper.
I've needed a valve cover gasket for a little while, could this be the culprit?

Could also be the culprit.
Is this something I should be really concerned with or am I being a weirdo?

I wouldn't just readjust the gaskets. After some time the gaskets become hard and cracked, like when i last checked mine. The oil was leaking through the bottom of those gaskets. Buy new ones and use some rtv sealant all around it.
