Cyl 2 misfire On start up. If i rev the motor it goes away. Drives very well. Swapped my Bosch plugs and oem coils around. Stayed in cyl 2.

Notice today, i had my wife start the car and i watched what, looked like mist or light smoke rise up from around the seal of the coil pack.

Do i need the inner gasket to the valve cover? Or wtf?

So im thinking it is the beginning of a headgasket. Had the wife start it and it was pouring out white smoke for 30sec or so on cold start. While misfiring. Car still drives well but i keep having to bleed the coolant and adding coolant.

Im prepping to do the headgasket. Do i need to get the head milled and pressure tested? Or can i just replace the gasket and studs?
