Hi. Welcome to the Forum.
If you're not sure about abbreviations used in replies, look at 'Common Acronyms' at the beginning of the 'Omega FAQ', (frequently asked questions), section. This helps a little.
If you want to do work yourself you will find most of the help and general instruction you need in the various sections and there are lots of people who are ready to give expert advice when you ask.
Above all, don't panic. Most problems have a solution, even if it takes time sometimes.

Reasonable amounts of oil in plug wells would suggest a cam cover gasket failure.

Check them again to see if oil returned.

Avatar fixed.

Before worrying what this, that and the other may cost, lets try to work out whats wrong!

So, has oil returned to plug wells!
