Default spark plugs covered in oil

i just pulled my spark plugs and they were saturated in oil. im guesing thats my problem.. a bad head gasket, anyone have a quick fix?

the reason i pulled my plugs was
my car has a jurking problem under load. when i press in my clutch it revs just fine but when accelerating it jerks.

Were the tips covered in oil or just the ceramic part?

Spark plug seals are leaking. Replace your valve cover gasket. Adjust your valves at the same time if you are up to it.
