Default Oil on my spark plugs??

My buddy and I changed out my 4 year old spark plugs to find oil on 4 out of 6 of them! He gave me a list of possible problems. What do yall think? Is this somthing I need to act on or not worry about?

Did you see any oil in the recess where the plugs bolt into the block?

A lot of times leaking valve cover gaskets will have oil leak down into the recess, then it makes its way onto the plugs.

Could be head gaskets too........
