valve guide seals or rings. possibly valve cover gasket but not in your actual combustion chamber. I don't remember if you can remove the valve seals without removing the head (pressurize cyl with air) or not. If your unsure how to find out, bring it to a mechanic.

Spark plug well gaskets. Change the valve cover gaskets.

Not sure what engine you have, but this should give you an idea of what you need to change. The round gaskets go around the plug wells.

again though the oil will be very apparent under the coil pack, not burning out of the combustion chamber.
