Default (95 Del Sol S) Oil On Top Of Plugs? What to Buy?

I got my 95 Del Sol s in the garage doing some cleaning and checked the plugs the two center cylinders, ( )(x)(x)( ) marked, have oil above the plug, I found this quite startling the plugs were also overtightened from the previous owner. I don't know if that was a attempt to fix the leaking or just a dumb *** kid thinking that plugs have to be tight. But I need to know what will solve the leak. What should I buy at napa?

The O-rings for the valve cover are bad. Get a valve cover gasket set.

You will need to replace the valve cover gasket and tube seals to fix this problem anyways, but you will more than likely need rocker o-rings as well. They sit under the rocker assembly in between runners 2 and 3, that is if your cylinder head does NOT have steel spark plug tubes. If they are aluminum, they are two-piece, and there are gaskets under them.
