i didnt take the valve covers off so didnt put any silicon. and either way I dont think silicone alone would fix any spec of an oil leak, it would need more of a replacement of the gasket.

But either way it wasnt that bad at all, the coil ends where still dry so just the normal spec of oil

The seals are built into the valve cover, so its either buy new valve covers (250-300 a piece) or put silicon around them after the spark plug swap. The second method fixed mine to date, wowever I have spare valve covers sitting in my garage in case the silicon fails after a short time.
