Default flooded spark plugs

i was changing my spark plugs today when i was pulling out the black plugs under the spark plug cover...i noticed the first 2 cylinders were flooded with oil to the top of the spark plugs while the next two were normal. wat could be causing the oil to flood the spark plugs like this? maybe the gasket seals weren't good? i removed the valve cover and cleaned off the surface area where the gasket contacts and applied gasket sealer (that black greasy stuff)...everything is running fine now but wat could've caused this??

did you replace the gaskets around the spark plug holes on the valve cover?
