I just changed my plugs, and two of the ones I pulled out (cylinders 2 and 3) had oil on them. I wiped it off, and I couldn't see any evidence that it had burnt on there, they looked like typical worn brown plugs. It wasn't a lot of oil, but it's still real annoying. I'm thinking that it leaked in from above, there was a small amount of oil in the 'tube', but that could have been from pulling them out.

So, what gaskets do I replace, or do you guys think it would be something else? The dipstick shows no signs of burning any oil.

You can get a whole new valve cover gasket set, or just the O-rings for the spark plug tubes. I had to replace mine, the dealer had 20 of them in stock (just the o-rings), yours should too.

ehhh it's just the circular gaskets in the valve cover. Replace all four.

yeah it's those oval shaped gaskets at the top of the "tubes" the spark plugs go down into. my dealer didn't have them in stock, but a local parts store had the complete set of valve cover gasket, those oval gaskets, and the little grommets that fit into the cover for the mounting studs for about ~$35. I figured it's not that much oil so I ignored it and just went to the dealer and got the valve cover gasket for $11. (parts store didn't have it)
