Was upgrading to Apr coil and BKR9EIX plugs last night. Noticed that a few coils had oil on them, probably caused by oil seeping from valve cover gasket. How serious is this issue? Does the gasket need to be replaced now or I can wait til next plug change? TIA.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230307/de25e3a7987d89291bec8ad02895a6d3.jpg

It's only going to get worse, eventually it will start leaking in exh manifolds ans smoking thats how my situation unfolded. Not to hard to change gaskets a couple hours at most.
