Does this part fix spark plug tube oil leak?
My 2008 coupe has the #6 spark plug tube oil leak, so I ordered new valve cover seals, and what is called the 'inner valve cover seal' (see attached). For anyone who has replaced the valve cover seals, did you replace the inner seal also? Will this fix the oil leak?

Yes, that is the one!
One caution:
Do not over tighten the valve cover bolts and make sure to tighten in the proper sequence and in two steps:
1st step: 2.0 N·m (0.2 kg-m, 18 in-lb)
2nd step: 8.3 N·m (0.85 kg-m, 73 in-lb)
If you haven't done so already, check the factory shop manual under "IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUG AND ROCKER COVER" for further details.
Good luck!
