oil on spark plugs

[daveoneill]

Hi i have an audi a6 avant 2.4 v6 and over the past few weeks i have noticed i have started to use a bit of oil. I have checked for leaks and found none.Then tonight on the off chance i pulled the lead of the top of my spark plugs and the holes are full of oil.Am i correct in saying this is the valve cover seal that has gone?If so is there a guide on how to replace hideing around as i carnt seem to find 1
Many Thanks
Dave

Yes there is a gasket that goes round the spark plugs, looks like three circles joined together. You will need to outer gasket as well. This limk is for the S4 but the principles are the same:
