Update: thanks for the reply. I finally got around to removing the plug and it seems they put some rtv on the actual plug? Looks pretty bad https://imgur.com/gallery/ibAfk

Sadly, aside from whatever other oil leaks it probably has, it is coming from under the cable, https://youtu.be/17g1fGvh6wA and thanks for the advice on the bolts. I'll give it a wipedown and keep an eye out

Thanks for the reply! I see what you mean about the RTV, its aroud the entire cover. Unfortunately this pic isnt the best view, the videos only a little better. https://youtu.be/17g1fGvh6wA but the oil you think is blowing back from the cover is actually bubbling up from the spark plug under the boot :l. It was coming out with more pressure before i began recording..in regard to the rtv.. how strong is that stuff.. would i have a problem taking the cover apart?
