Question

Answer
Darryl,
Oil in the spark plug chamber can mean worn out and stiff valve cover gasket seals.  If you replaced the valve cover gasket seals and torqued all the bolts to spec, but it still leaks, your problem may be a warped or even cracked head gasket.  Oil can also leak into your spark plug area if your valve seals and/or valve guides are worn out.  Replacing any of these items would require rebuilding the entire head.  

Check for other signs of oil leaks around your engine compartment.  If you see oil leaks around your alternator (front, driver side), your leak may be from the oil pump or crank seal.  Try replacing the PCV valve.  That valve relieves pressure under the valve cover.  If that valve gets clogged, pressure will be unable to vent out appropriately, and that can force oil into your spark plug chambers, and out of any weak seals.  It's the cheapest and quickest solution that you should first try.
Good luck!
