Default Oil in spark plug cavities

First gen Neon, 2.0 SOHC. There is oil accumulating (quite a bit) in the spark plug cavities. Is this a terminal sign that it's ready to go out to pasture, or something fairly simply to seal somewhere?

replace the spark plug seals....to do that take the vavle cover off....get a gasket kit for the vavle cover....shove the vavle cover gastet on and the spark plug seals.....if you want paint the vavle cover while your there.....thats just the first step i would take

Are you positive the spark plug tube seals stayed in there? Sometimes they fall out when reinstalling the valve cover.
