Default Oil inside spark plug wells!

1998 A6 Quattro w/162,000 miles - found oil in cylinder 1 & 2 spark plug wells when trying to change all the plugs after P0302 code. Thoughts? How bad is it?

Sorry for the overly brief post. I've been trying to post a more accurate description and can't get it to take the post.

More then likely leaking valve cover gaskets.

Leaking valve cover gaskets. No big deal, especially for the mileage you have on the car.

Thanks guys. After I posted I finally figured out how to search for what I was looking for and it all adds up to gaskets. Must say, just the way those plugs are in there is wild enough without them being covered with oil. Guess I'm just used to the old school good ole' days of the Chevelle I had back in high school.
