You need to replace the rubber spark plug seals in the valve cover. They prevent oil splashing around under the valve cover from getting into the spark plug tubes. When you have the valve cover off, it would be good to replace the rubber valve cover seal, too.

Cylinder head cover bolts are torqued to 7 lb-ft. Carefully apply oil with your finger to the bottom of the 4 rubber spark plug tube seals, when installing the cylinder head cover. Easy job.
