oil in spark plug ports

[qa15ar]

hi all,

went to change the spark plugs on my 1.8T B6, but before taking the plugs out i noticed that oil was sitting in the port of the plugs. it seems to be leaking from the rocker cover gasket. Is it this rocker cover gasket or could something else be causing over pressure causing it to leak.

Also which spark plugs fit the 1.8T, went to the audi ******** and they gave me ones with a single ground and the ones in the car are triple ground. both are genuine audi parts.

change the cam cover gasket
the spark plugs can be either depending on model year

single electrodes are fine ,
triple electrodes were just designed to extend the life of the plugs but in honesty dont make that much difference if any .

[qa15ar]

is it better to go for a genuine one or are there better aftermarket ones out there?

I personally stick with bosch as i have found them to be best over the last 20 years of audi owner ship ,
for service life and reliability.
