Good day! I am new here and relatively new to the LR world. My '06 4.4l V8 is giving me a flashing check engine light when it's over 2000rpm under a load (sorry I do not yet have a code reader). I went through it and changing plugs and checking the coils I discovered oil on one of the coils (cylinder #5 or three back from the front on the passenger side) and looking in with a camera phone I can see what appears to be a beige colored seal squeezing in from the outside and a small accumulation of oil. (pic attached) I can't get the plug out as the seal seems to be blocking the socket from grabbing. My question I suppose is two parts.
1. If this is causing a misfire could that cause the flashing engine light? There could be so many causes, but could it?
2. I need a new plug tube seal and need to take the valve cover off to get at it. It is so tight in there with the battery compartment/heater hoses in the way. Can the valve cover be taken off without a major disassembly? I cant find a trace of anyone doing this themselves. It seems to me accessing the nuts on the bottom of the valve cover would be nigh impossible without pulling the engine.
