if you have condition A, there is nothing needed, just re-assemble and explain the condition to your dealer.

if you have condition B, clean out as much of the oil as you can (by using a cloth or paper towel to suck up the oil, or some other means). Next, clean off the coil pack, and apply some dielectric grease to the inside of the coil pack where it would normally contact the top of the plug - this will help ensure a good electrical connection by displacing any oil that might enter the area.
Thanks so much for all the info man. Your DIY's are incredible as well. Do we have to *re-calibrate* our throttle body like you did in one of your previous posts in this thread after checking the coil pack for oil leaks?

And is re-calibrating the throttle body any different for a 6MT vs 5AT?

Thanks again!
