Default 01 civic engine problems

I am new on here and im no honda expert so I got on to find out what my issues could be.
I changed the plugs in my car that I bought in december and found oil all over the plug furthest towards the passenger side. im not sure if thats cylinder one or 4 this is the first 4 cylinder ive owned but my question is what caused this? if it is a huge repair cost I will sell the car, but I have found complete engines for $160-$500 on ebay. any help is appreciated. the car has 137k miles on it and runs good and doesnt smoke. im just very dissapointed because I drive it daily and just got it plated and legal to drive now this happens
thanks for any help in advance

your plugs will have some oil on them. just as long as its running good, i wouldnt worry too much. you could always take it into a mechanic and have it professionally looked at.
