I am thinking that the big black cam/valve cover needs to come off, before that the coil packs need to come out.... Once the big black cam/valve cover is off , from the previous replies the seal is in the cam/valve cover, leaving the solenoid still connected to the VVT ..... This is done by undoing the cam cover retaining bolts/nuts in sequence - I believe starting from the inner ones and working out. There are good workshop manuals available on disc on ebay etc. really cheaply (as low as £3.99 circa 5 or 6 dollars?)...... Alternative is to wipe up the excess oil and if not excessive, live with the weeping.....don't think any harm will be done unless it's pumping out, however, I'd say that was unlikely though. Forgive me if I misunderstood your question....Allan

Get the part from the dealer.
The valve cover DOES NOT need to be removed to replace these. Just unplug the connector and pry the seal up with a screwdriver.
Clean off the solenoid with a bit of solvent on a rag before pressing in the new seal with your fingers.
The whole job takes 5 minutes tops.

Ditto WhiteXKR - just did mine tonight took 1 minute.
The connector has a press tab on the rh side looking towards front of car.
My indie neglected to fit the VVT seals when I had the top tensioners done ( I supplied the parts including valve cover gaskets.)
It started leaking recently so just pried it out and pressed the new seal in.
Like our poster I originally thought the valve cover would have to be removed - hence the delay in fitting the seals !
