92 Accord with oil in the spark plug "tubes"

Just bought a '92 accord with the 2.2L. Was checking through things to do a tune up and found oil under the spark plug boots basically filling the tubes down to the plugs. The previous owner said it leaked oil so I figured this was it. I replaced the valve cover gasket and still getting oil in there.

Any ideas?

Did you replace the gaskets on the valve cover that seal the tubes from the rest of the head?

Yes. They all came with the set. There were 4 o-rings that i didn't know where they went...There weren't anything like that on the old gasket.

Those additional 4 o-rings go between the head and the camshaft caps/ spark plug seals .
