That wouldn't be head gaskets causing the oil in the spark plug tubes, it would be the valve cover gaskets.
Was there actually oil and coolant mixed? Or was it just oil dripping from the gaskets leaking.

Thanks.... I'll ask him to check. I don't know the difference between the valve cover gaskets and the head gaskets. i'd rather pay for a cover gasket repair if it is cheaper.

You guys were right. It was not the head Gasket. It was the valve cover gaskets that were leaking quite badly.
Also, the fluid I saw leaking was from the Transmission Cooler. Indy is replacing the VCG and the Cooler. Total estimated damage is $875.00
