Sounds like it's just leaky spark plug well seals. Nothing to be alarmed about, but you may want to think about doing your valve cover eventually.

I did this this past weekend is very easy, just tale all the bolts off, take the valve cover gasket and the o-ring gasket out, and in the valve cover there are the markings to put the new gaskets, and the new gaskets have space in the middle to put hi-temp silicone, it fixed the spark plug well soaked in oil, but i'm still getting oil in TOP of the valve cover, any suggestions, i think is coming from the screw just below the oil cap.
