130k mile 2013 brz. Spark plug gasket on cylinder 4 is leaking on plug and coil pack, shorting the connection causing spark plug tip to explode.

Update: pulled engine this week. I guess material on plug tube gasket just wasn’t thick enough to seal. Cleaned up and reinstalled. Used much less rtv than the factory. Looks like it was even on the cam lobe in last pic
