Are you talking about spark plugs being inside tubes running through the valve cover?

If so, either the valve cover gasket is leaking, the tubes are loose, or someone's hands were shaking when adding oil.

I'd start by sopping up the oil with paper towels and then replacing the valve cover gasket and whatever seals are associated with the tubes. On my Camry the tubes have no seals on the bottom, they just thread into the block. I've been told that coating the threads with some sealant fixes that.
