Its a new gasket set and all and I'm having a major oil leak in the the first spark plug hole. So much oil that comes out on top of the engine. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. Thanx

Did u mean you replaced the spark plug gaskets? (grommets?) If you did, you may want to go back and re-do it, it didn't seal correctly. If you took it somewhere to get that done, take it back and make them look at it.
When you replace a valve cover gasket, you need separate spark plug grommets for those holes. (you probably know this already)

I had to use some sealer when mine did it. My car was sputtering, backfiring, and hesitating and oil was heavy in all 4. I can't remember which silicone I used. It was some red stuff. damn, don't remember the name for it. It was at wal-mart in the car stuff with oil, etc. In a tube and it was on the end tab of the shelf like red silicone rtv. It's heat resistant, etc. get that shiz. Mine's been fine ever since.
