These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My spark tubes are definitely leaking, but i'm also seeing oil over the part right at the top. I assume it's possible oil could spray upwards from the tubes, but it seems unlikely as this piece is recessed.
it's hard to tell in the photo, but it is covered in a thin layer of oil. Passenger side.
the main gasket too could be leaking, but i just can't see from top down and not sure if there is a seal up on that side
in the photo is the small part dead center with wires coming out of it
Yes passenger side (updated post). Is there a way to get access to that tube easily to verify?
Is that a sign of failing AOS? (luckily happen to have a UAOS, sitting ready to go)

Blow-off valve/bank 2 head connector for 996.1 engines
I don't think it's possible. The 996.1 AOS vent is attached with a single bolt. It's also listed on Pelican as being 27mm, compared to the 996.2 part being 35mm; but I don't know what that is measuring. The port and o-ring for the 996.2 looks different than the 996.1 vent.
For anyone future reference, the 996.1 AOS vent is 16mm in diameter. I used a 5/8in (~16mm) high-temp silicone coolant bypass cap to close it off.
