Default CEL, missing, oil in plug well

So car started missing last night, CEL came on immediately. Pulled all the coils and plugs this morning and found plenty of oil in the #2 well.

Valve cover gasket?

I think so. In the mean time you could wipe out the oil and start the car.

More specifically it's probably the (what I call) the donut seals....one for each spark plug well.

When I changed my cam cover gasket the donut seals came in the package along with the gasket.

Yeah, that kinda seems like it's what it is.

Turned out the misfire was a bad coil though. So I cleaned out the oil and we'll see how long it stays dry for. In the meantime she's running great.
