number 1 cylinder with more oil than the rest...is this normal to have oil blow by....only 7200 miles on the car?
How in the heck do you get to the last plug and boot on the drivers side...is there an easy way

Here is a terrific how-to by Kewlbrz. He talks about #7 and a tool that helps.

How many missing 'pucks' on the stock plugs did you find? I'm doing mine this weekend.
I'm not a guru, but considering you are so close to the break-in time, I'd not worry about it unless it continues.
Are you consuming oil?
Good luck,

Re: changed 7 spark plugs so far and found (iceburgh68)
ice, I am of another persuasion..............
One plug with this scenario, is cause for further evaluation........
I would (since you have already changed them), watch that one, IF it is oil fouled again, have the coil checked for that cylinder first, and if it's ok......i would bet you have serious ring problems on that cylinder........
And if this is the case, make sure they replace ALL of them like the fix is supposed to be done..... :yesnod:
