United States 2014 Range Rover 5.0 SC V8 Balmoral Blue
Severe engine misfire (cylinder 3,5 and 7)

My RR suddenly started severely misfiring when going down the highway and the engine check light started flashing. I pulled over and scanned for codes and found the misfire code (at that time it only showed misfire for cylinder 5). I was only a few miles from home. I pulled out the ignition coil of cylinder 5 and found oil at the bottom of it. I looked inside the spark plug well and it was filled with oil.
I started removing the oil from the spark plug well and cleaned the coil in hopes it would fix the misfire.

I started the engine and it started misfiring immediately. I looked at the freeze frames and was shocked to find that there was misfire detected on cylinders 3 and 7 as well (no DTC for these were ever present). Turns out the cylinder 3 is misfiring lot more than 5 and 7. Haven’t looked inside the cylinder 3 spark plug well yet but I am thinking it must be the valve cover gasket thats leaking causing the oil to spew into the spark plug wells causing a misfire.

I do not have the confidence to do this repair myself. I was wondering if anyone has any idea how much it would cost to fix at the dealership. I was thinking getting both sides replaced.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
