Default oil in spark plug...what's wrong

So i changed my spark plugs today and I noticed 3 out of 4 spark plugs, there is oil on it in. The oil is not from the tip but it's in the area of where the socket grooves are. Is it the plug grommets or head gasket? I just had the valve cover gasket replaced like 10k miles ago.hmphh? any advice appreciated!

Thanks

Are you saying when you pull off your plug wires and look down into the spark plug holes the spark plugs have oil on them when they are threaded into the block?

had the same problem in every honda ive owned for a couple years.its the spark plugs grommets under the valve cover.once you pull off the valve its good to get the whole set the valevcover gasket and and grommmets with new bolt gaskets.
