Default oil problem on ls

alright well i went to change my plugs and when removin the plug wires i had oil down cyl. 3 and 4. i yanked the valve cover off to notice those 2 tube seals were the cause. i cant seem to get all the oil out of the tube so i was wondering if i could just pull the plugs and let the oil drain into the cyl's? or how should i go about tryin to get the oil out of the tubes?

if your worried about it then just jam paper towel down into them and get a pair of needle nose pliers to get the paper towel back out.
