Default Something doesn't seem right...

So i'm currently in the process of replacing my cam chain tensioner, about to pull the valve cover off, and while pulling the coil packs off, I get one out and oil comes dripping out of it... this doesn't seem normal to me. Am i in for a surprise with this motor? she runs fine, but this worries me.
any input would be helpful. thanks!

the spark plug seals are leaking - they're being changed anyways so keep it moving.
