For anyone else looking, the company is Legion Fabrications in South Elmonte Cali.
Companies Powder Coating website here: http://www.legionpowdercoating.com/about-us/ (No link to their fabrication shop, I would assume that you could get the information through them).
From what I see on My350z they are having problems keeping covers in stock (people not returning cores). Basically plan to have your car down for 2 weeks or more to send yours off and get them back. Or go out on car-part.com, buy a pair of used ones for $80 and ship it to them.
Like I said, I may do a step by step write up to help people along.

No, I just drove 90k miles since last plug change. At first change there was a pool all the way to the top of the plug. This time there was very little oil, less than 1/8 teaspoon worth. My coil pack works fine and no problems.

Here is something interesting. I replaced my valve covers with brand new Nissan valve covers. And replaced my spark plugs. Than about 5,000 miles later I get my car tuned and my tuner says my spark plugs are fouled. So I said ok no biggy I will just get 1 step colder plugs. So I change them a low and behold oil in spark plug 6 only. And yes we set the covers on straight. Wouldn't make sense only one cylinder have oil if the cover didn't seat right.
So now what is it that is causing that leak.

As for G35CO, what CAN happen (not that it has happened to everyone) is the plug will foul and the car will start to miss on the affected cylinder(s). The oil will pool so much that your coil pack will, in essence, "drown" and the electrical signal will get lost in the oil and not go to the plug. The fix isn't an immediate thing that needs to be done, but for general piece of mind and as proper maintenance, I recommend replacing it.
