Plug?
Coil pack?
Cam cover oil leaks leading to above?

if the cam covers are leaking it could be that the spark plug recesses are filled with oil which could also cause the misfire as could a dodgy ht lead

2.6 no HT leads

if you swap that coil with another cylinder and change your faultcode the coil will be the culprit

There's 1 3 5 coil pack and a 2 4 6 coil pack. They're different.    but I like your thinking.
