The valve cover gasket can leak, allowing oil to get in the spark plug wells, When you pull the plug, the oil travels downward and drips off the tip of the plug, making it appear that your plugs are getting all of that oil from inside the motor. If there really was oil in the combustion chamber, then it would BURN along with the gasoline and appear differently. It wouldn't look "wet".
The best solution to fixing a leaky valve cover gasket is to replace the gasket (of course) AND replace the screws with BOLTS. 2S R US sells a replacement bolt set.

the phillips head screws that hold down the valve cover are not up to par. Two's r us sell hexbolts (with appropriate allen key) to replace these bolts to properly torque them down. You can take your old ones to lowes or other hardware store and get some there too, but it's just more convenient to just buy a package without having to go out and source them. Plus shipping is very quick from them so it' snot like it'll save time unless you wanted to do it right here, right now.freddysmr2 said:

Um no. They were $3 a piece from Toyota Dealership. They go right under the huge like 30mm screws for the valve cover(of 5sfe).

It's funny to find this thread that was recent after I changed my plugs today. This is exactly what I found.
Just to make sure I understand, if it is the gasket and it's replaced then I should be okay. When someone says "don't panic" does that mean there is no real engine harm done? I have no idea how long they have been like this but I haven't noticed it using any oil or anything.
And for those that ask, yes I do have an MR2 and yes occasionally I do maintenance on it.
