Oil leaking out from a spark plug. Common sense tells me this is a big problem but I am unsure what this could be. What is it? And is there a possibility of fixing it cheaply as im trying to seel the car?

Actually, instead oil leaking out of the spark plug, the oil is actually leaking INTO the spark plug area. It is an easy fix, actually. All you need is to purchase a valve cover gasket set. Make sure that it comes with spark plug seals, sometimes they are called grommets. Just replace the seals and then the valve cover gasket, and you are set.
