Default new spark plugs now im leaking oil

So I replaced my plugs and she got all her power back But now oil is running out of were the head meets the block? The cam ? It uses the special sealant, any tips before I tackle this? I really don't want too but after 300$ in suspension and new water pump and timing components I might as well

That's a head gasket! I like something called Blue Devil: it's an additive that works very well and is great for cars you don't want to pour thousands into.

Are you sure it's the head/block interface? If you are new to cars you might be confusing this with the two halves of the head itself. And oil will leak from between the two halves if you messed with one of the 50 hex cap screws on top of the head - they look just like the ones that hold the coils in. Post a photo if you aren't sure.

I'm positive its not my head gasket, and if it was I wouldn't use blue devil, I thought it was the upper portion of the head but when I took the plastic cover off the top of the coil packs had oil on them it appears my oil cap seal had been leaking and rolling out the side were there is a metal hose that I believe is egr related , I ordered a flame trap and a pcv box I believe there causing too much crank case pressure

If it is the oil filler cap, you can replace the seal.

If you spill oil while filling, it will get under the cover and collect where oil is in your photos. Be careful and use a funnel.
