not bad but also not good - change your valve cover gaskets

A couple inches? I don't believe that. If it was leaking that bad you'd have hydrolocked by now, at least have plumes of smoke mistaken for Indian smoke signals behind your car. But yeah, change the gasket

What year do you have? If it's an 01, fsi coils are plug and play. 00 or less and you could still consider them, although it be cost a bit more. Not to mention genuine fsi coils can be had for less than $20 a piece

He said there was oil in the spark plug tubes, not the cylinders.
