The plugs are buried in the head. To keep oil out of the plug area a tube surrounds the plug that extends from the head up through the valve cover. Where the tube exits the cover there is a gasket seal. Check the seal area for leakage.

There may be a PCV valve installed in the rear cover. Make sure the gasket around the valve is not leaking or the PCV hoses.
