It's either the valve cover gasket or the spark plug well o-rings. Luckily, FelPro sells a kit with all the gaskets for around $20. It's pretty easy to replace them but you'll have to take off the valve cover and rocker assembly to get at the spark plug o-rings. Since you're taking off the rockers, you'll need to do a valve adjustment, too.

I did this not very long ago on my 91 LX and it took a couple hours in the evening.

what the heep says it is a good advice ,, but do not remove rocker arm just yet ,, remove valve cover and replace the 4 seals on the bottom side of valve cover first, put a new v.c.gasket, clean the plug holes, put all together and see if it takes care of ur problem ,,in some cases that is all u need , however if u still have oil in spark plug tubes than u got to do as THE HEEP suggested ,,,,to remove rocker arm ...etc etc,
