How are your valve cover gaskets ? Do you see any signs of a leak ?

If the plug is not sealed/seated this will happen. Replace the plug and be sure it is tight.

No leaks at valve covers.Engine is very clean,so leaks would be easy to detect. The plug is cyl. # 5 I think,closest to oil dip stick.Oil will show at the base of plug ,small amount.Plug is tight.I would think if I had blow by it would show on plug.Right now no one at the ROA has any hints either.
