Is it on the tips or the ceramic portions? That'll help narrow down the cause.

So.........I'll assume you're talking about the ceramic portions then that you connect the spark plug wires to. That is most likely bad tube seals. To replace them you'll have to remove your valve cover, you'll see the four round rubber seals underneath that correspond to each spark plug tube. Replace those seals and see if it stops the oil leak.

huh???

sprak plugs screw into the head.... the ceramic part is what the wires connect to. which part is the oil on?

if its on the ceramic then like wiZCo said it could be the tube seals... but it could also be the rocker arm assembly seals and thats alot more work to fix and this problem happenes alot. but try the tube seals and see what happens.
