Default OIL LEAK onto exhaust manifold

I noticed the smell of oil, and looked under the hood. On the right side of the engine above the spark plug oil is dripping on the spark plug wire, then onto the exhaust manifold. There is no oil on my garage floor, its just a drop onto the manifold. Any suggestions ? This is a 2005 Roadster with 23,000 miles. Thanks in advance

This is a common issue that typically appears on the driver side, but is known to both engine sides.

If under Warranty, it should be covered.

If not, it's described as a relatively easy DIY fix.

Search the Form for Valve Cover for lots of links with lots of details.

You can start with this one:

Here's a pix of what mine looked like with the oil leak.

Mine was under Warranty, so the Dealer did both sides:
