CEL still on after valve cover gasket replacement....

Ok well I was leaning towards the fact that I had never changed the valve cover gaskets was the reason why I was leaking oil into my spark plug boots.

1- So I replaced the Valve Cover Gaskets.

2- I cleaned out the exhaust port that comes off of the valve cover(used a plumbers snake to get a whole bunch of garbage out)

Now there is still oil leaking into one of the spark plug boots but the rest seem to not be leaking, any suggestions because this is killing my gas mileage and we all know how much that sucks right now!

did you get the gasket kit? i think you can get the cover gasket or the kit which has the sparkplug tube gaskets too. they would be the culprit oil is going by the sparkplug tube gasket either on top or the bottom not sure how the bottom is sealed.

I got the valve cover gasket kit from tom(360 dynamics) and It seals the sparkplugs off, but I think I might be encountering some sort of back pressure issue from the exhaust off of the valve cover, or could it possibly be a blown head gasket that could be the culprit?
