Default d16y8 problem

so on my way to the strip today, after about an hour and a half in my car, the car starts to mis-fire, well i pull over and the plug wire for cyl 4 is sticking out like 2 inches from the valve cover............... i put it back in and it does it again like 50 feet later, well i had some budz with me so i didnt want to hole them up so i babied it to the next exit pulle into a gas station and parked it and hopped into a friends car we go to the strip, and when we come back we are gonna work on my ride, well we start and yank the plug its fine , but the wire is coverd in oil <i think this means i need a new seal kit for the valve cover and the head> well ive notice this oil on the plug wire since about 2 moths ago so i dont hink this is a main factor. well once i get the wire cleaned and the plug burnt off i go on my way to my home town an hour away and just as im pulling onto my street it starts to do it again. is it a faulty plug what do i dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo>?
sorry for the run on sentence and bad grammer but my car is fugged up and i wanna smack my bitch up

install a new valve cover gasket and o-rings for each spark plug tube that runs into the valve cover
