spark plugs covered in oil?
i changed my spark plugs on the H22 yesterday and found that all of them were covered in oil. the car still drove fine, i was just replacing them as part of normal maintenance. i think its the seal between the valve cover and the spark plug holes. i plan to replace these very soon obviously, but is it still ok to drive like this, or should i just park it and get some new seals from honda?

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

the technical term for them is "Valve cover Grommets" just so honda knows what the hell your talking about.. last time i went to Honda to get some parts, they had no idea what the hell I was talking about. -Ben

valve cover grommets are the metal grommets that hold the valve cover down. Get a valve cover gasket kit for $32 at honda. VC gasket, spark plug tube gaskets and VC grommets.
