Re: Oil on the spark plugs
There are gasket around where the spark plugs go throught the valve cover which are probably leaking. The rubber tends to get hard and crack or just not form a good seal anymore after 20 years. Just grab a new valve cover gasket kit and toss it on, cheap and easy fix. I suggest using Felpro, I've used them in the past w/o any problems.
FYI: I'm a new owner of a Honda, but not at all new to wrenching on things.

The upper o-rings are number 4 in the diagram:
They're like two bucks a piece from Honda.
But the F22 also have these lower o-rings under the rocker arms which these are notorious for leakings. It's number nineteen in the diagram:

Re: Oil on the spark plugs
I've done this job on two different Hondas. It's simple enough. Eric the Car Guy did a really good tutorial about it.

Take care torquing. I broke a bolt the first time I did this.
