Hello.

I noticed today that I have an oil leak on the engine. When I stand in front of an open bonnet, I found oil marks on my right hand at the cracker. Decomposition of the cladding showed that oil leaks from the (front) second ignition coil.
I have to admit to my shame that I meant something too well with the oil and something overcrowded. Up to a little bit above the lower edge of the upper artificial awning on the oil measuring rod.
I guess the oil pressure's a little too high now. But why does oil leak out of the twine? I'd still understand if it pulled out of the valve cover seal...

What do you think? Should I have the excess oil drained, as a precaution? Does the oil leak at the ignition coil indicate a (sealing) defect?

Greetings,
Martin
