I changed out my old spark plugs with stock NGK plugs. My car has about 61k miles on it. I noticed that there was little oil (very little, equivalent to a drop or two) around the shaft of the plug. I was wondering if this was anything to be concerned.

One more thing, my engine is stock. The oil was only found on plugs #1 and #4.

It came from your spark plug tube seals. It is not really a problem yet but I would recommend you replace your valve cover gasket when you do your timing belt at 90k. Make sure you use some Hondabond on the tube seal gaskets.
