I was in the process of making a DIY video for changing spark plugs and after I removed the first plug on the 03 coupe, the spark plug area under the coil pack was completely full of oil... with only 77k it's already time for a new valve cover gasket

Actually time for a new Valve cover.
You can also try using epoxy or silicone to fix the leak on the valve cover.
Oil pass through the tube that creates the tunnel that the coil pack goes down to the spark plug.
I believe there was a recent thread on this either here or on my350z.com.

Either way you will need new valve cover gaskets.

Here is the thread I was speaking of.

the spark plug tube gaskets only come with the valve cover on the VQ...

PM me your zip and the parts you are looking for...

but it will also be covered under powertrain warranty

You should have some fender shield covering those fenders.

which kind do you recommend.. maybe I will purchase some...

I myself just use the ones from sear (Live a sec away from it)

When I first changed my spark plugs, I had oil in the tubes. I just left it and changed my spark plugs again recently and there was no oil in the tubes. Go figure
