If the oil is in the spark plug wells then the valve cover gasket will
need replacement. If the oil is on the combustion side that would
be rings.

I would run a compression test if I were you. That would tell you if the rings/valves are bad.

Turns out, the valve cover gasket was bad and the oil was in the spark plug wells, so when i took em out the oil seeped in. and the engine wasn’t loud, the wheen bearing is completely shot. Thank you everyone 🙂
