Default o ring question

Does a 1997 honda civic ex coupe have rubber O-rings under the rocker arms because i am getting some oil in my spark plug wells. And if i can just buy a valve cover gasket set to fix it i will. And what will happen if i let it continue to leak oil into the wells (so i can see how urgent i need to get this done).

thanks for the help

rarely that will leak, maybe it your tube seal on the valve cover. Also you can torque the rock assembly down a bit and see.

I had oil drown in the tube for a while without knowing and it cause the plug wire to expand on the rubber section due to heat, the plug connecting tube cracked, but didn't affect the drivability.

Changed plug wire and cover tube seal, good ever since.
