86 SL2 spark plug well has oil in it!

[Wayne]

About 6 months ago I had a local mechanic replace the valve cover gasket on
my 96 SL2. Now I noticed the spark plug well has oil in it. It was about a
half inch deep. Is the gasket bad again or is there another problem?

Thanks,
Wayne

Sounds like a yo-yo to me. Have them do it again... this time properly!

Yeah it's bad. Good idea to get it fixed quickly before it causes a misfire.
