Started off with rough idle, turned into intermittent misfiring. Thinking vacuum leak, thinking spark plugs, coil pack, wires. What could it be!?! Noticed today my oil leak wasn't coming from my drain plug... pulled my new spark plugs out (NGK bkr6e or whatever the name is gapped to the recommended. 045) noticed some oil on the threads "huh" I thought. Further inspection lead to me using a flashlight all around my motor, found fresh oil on the back of my head coming from my valve cover. I've been getting a weird sound, like a sucking/blowing sound, the pulling of air when I rev higher and the release of it when I let off. The oil leak is more pronounced and so is the sound of the air pulling/releasing (only happens at specific rpm during specific loads).
After my research and inspection I found this valve cover gasket leak, the symptoms are there, rough idle with misfire and also oil on my threads. I believe this to be the issue, I hope I went into detail enough. If anyone has anything to add or if I might be wrong on something feel free to shoot your two pennies my way, hopefully this helps someone who is having these issues.
This was a sneaky ninja leak as it only just recently got to the point where it was noticeably bad. Neglegance on my part and lack of inspection (I've been extremely busy, school+work).
