Its easy. I did mine about a month ago. You need to take off all the bolts on the top part of the motor. there are some tubes on the left side of the motor by pushing them out of the way... you take the old one off and replace it with the new one making sure its aligned and the you put it back on.. the bolts need to be hand tightened kinda as tight as you would do your tires.

Yeah, kind of. The valve cover gasket needs replaced. The seals around the plugs go first because of heat. If the oil mark was near the top of the plug boot, replace the valve cover gaskets/seal. If it was near the bottom, slap in the plugs and wires.

Hi, Most likely, if its leaking, its done for. I have never heard of "cleaning" a gasket. Usually the oil and heat make the rubber compound hard or deformed causing the leak. You can order a new one online at rockauto.com or JC Whitney. You will need to order it by vehicle year and engine size.

When i going tom replace spark plugs in my chevy aveo sedan i found oil leak in to plugs what is the ?

Spark plug tube seals are leaking and need replaced along with the valve cover gasket. Any parts store should be able to get them for you. if left unrepaired it will eventually cause misfiring.

2006 chevy aveo. the dipstick reads oil is full. but there is oil in the spark plug holes.did the mechanic overfill last oil change. that was 4000kms ago. dipstick still reads full oil

You have oil in the plug holes because the seals that are supposed to keep oil out are leaking-you need to remove the valve cover to replace them.
