the valve cover gaskets are leaking so you can replace those and the original screws with some bolts ..

Yep thats pretty normal, just do a search for cam cover bolt mod and you should find all you need to know about the issue.

right now i just bought ngk iridium's, and ngk spark plug wires. so hopefully putting the new ones in and the valve cover bolts tighten there shouldnt be oil in the spark plug
