    General question...
    Can too much oil cause oil on my ignition coil?
    Want to see if there are things I can eliminate before taking it to a pro

    Too much oil is not good in its own right but I wouldn’t think it would cause oil in the coils .

    Of course... It shows a little high but, not where it would be a problem.
    Thanks
    I believe I'm probably on my way to a valve gasket.
    Going to go ahead and change the plug and keep a close eye on it.

    It was only the driver side rear plug (I think #7).
    All others were clean.
    I'm ruling things out before I have my trans torn apart.
    It threw a torque converter sensor code when check engine light came on, but went off later that day without resetting it. Just got done test driving after changing plugs, and unfortunately it looks like the torque converter sensor. Ugh

    Take some pics through the splash shields in the front wheel wells. Cam tower leaks are obvious, but on the lower side of the engine. If you're leaking oil into the plug hole, then maybe it's the valve cover sealing.

    Before you assume anything is wrong, and start removing the transmission, a professional opinion would be worthwhile.
