Oil soaked spark plug hole Help!

Hey guys I really need ur help, I turned on the 5th gen today and I was getting a huge misfire. So at 96,000 I decided to go ahead and change the spark plugs to see if it would resolve the issue. So the front ones were pretty much toast, but when I got to remove one of the rear ones I pull the coil out and its soaked in oil!... ok so what do I have to do now to tackle this issue??
I really need ur help thanks!

typical 5.5 problem. Switch over to the 6th gen valve cover and gasket. Problem solved, Mine was the exact same
