You need to replace your spark plug gaskets and your valve cover gasket while you're at it. They are # 8 ( quantity of 4 ) and # 6 in the picture.

they usually come as a set, valve cover gasket and spark plug gaskets if you get them at like advance auto or autozone...i think my d16 kit was around 14 bucks so its prolly within that price range

Although you dont need 30 people telling you, I will just say they are right and tell you the same thing.

Its just oil leaking out of the valve cover into the holes for the spark plugs through the oring gaskets.

hmmm the thing also is i smell oil when i floor my car burning from the engine bay. but i have looked around in there and not seen anything and there is never any drops on the floor of my driveway and its the 2 spark plugs on the passanger side i guess its the sparkplug gaskets but when i did my valve job the dude told me to get all that and put it in new well he did. and it was like 38 bucks for the set, for my car. so if there new should i just maybe try to adjust them or something?

check you pcv, if you dont ventilate the head, pressure can build up and force oil past those seals. happened to me

your case especially made me think of this because mine started as just the passenger side, then the 2 on the passenger side, and then the 3...
