I had a bit of oil, not like flooded though like I've heard some ppl having, in bank 6.it didn't look that serious- very minimal. Any thoughts on if I should've done something different?

If u feel its not major I'd take note of amount of oil , clean it up n inspect the spark plug to see If it looks normal . If its all good then put it back n note the date n mileage. Then periodically check it again. Then Ull have an idea of the rate of leak. If its getting worse then time to change the cover.

You know I was kinda disappointed after I changed them..with the condition they were in, I was expecting it to have a little bit better throttle response with the new plugs compared to "usual" prior to changing.
Obviously not like "WHOA BRO THIS CHITs FAST! TURBOD? nah bro speak plug change!!!!" But regardless, everything's good so I can't complain lol. Guess I was misled that the difference would be that noticeable.

It might not feel quicker but on the plus side I would think you should see better gas mileage.

Do you have to change the whole cover or just the gasket?

lame question but how does one go about checking?

my other cars have had the plugs easier to get to.

Thanks!
