2000 Acura Integra Front Wheel Drive Manual 120000 miles

I recently just changed my spark plugs. And I noticed when I pulled them out that 1st they were fried previous owner probably never changed them. And also there was a bit of oil on my spark plugs. Now I heard of a few possible problems

1. My piston rings are probably ceased up. Weather its only one or all of them, because all of the spark plugs had oil on them.

2. That the seals were cracked and oil got through

I did have the car sitting for a while, so maybe everything ceased up.

please hopefully not a bad problem, thanks car guys.

Was it burnt oil? Or fresh oil? If its fresh oil its just the valve cover seals that are leaking on top of the plugs.
