I have another problem friends, don't we all. The other day a buddy and I did a tune-up on the SC. Once inside the engine he noticed that there was oil in one of the spark plug chutes. He said he believes it's a leak from a valve cover gasket or grommet or something. I know this is probably a common problem so if anyone has experience and knows what's causing this leak I'd appreciate the help. I'm going to need something to do this weekend after trying to recover from eating all that good stuff!! As for the power steering pump, I keep having to refill the reservoir every few days or so or my steering will make a whiny noise. Am I diagnosing the problem correctly? Any input is appreciated.

Your friend is right... valve cover gasket. Its actually coming from the grommet around that particular spark plug, but you might as well go through and change the entire gasket and all the other grommets as well.
