I can not remember having scene a post on this topic - hopefully some has already been down this path....

Today I had the pleasure to discover in my '95 Maxima with 179 k km that my rear centre plug well was filled with oil. A little investiagtion led me to discover that the seal b/w the spark plug "tube" and the plug had fallen down 1/8" inwards and was allowing oil to spary up and into the spark plug tube.

Anyone have any idea what is involved in replacing this seal?

Is it reasonable to assume I could pull the old seal up and out and then insert a new seal (apparently a $3.65 part) with some sort of locking goop?

Any suggestions, thoughts, wisdom would be appeciated.

Thanks

That seal is part of the valve cover seals set.
