No, sounds like your valve covers are leaking a little and you had some residual oil around the plug when you removed it. If they aren’t leaking badly it’s something you can live with, just keep check on your oil levels and if you find yourself having to add oil frequently or can smell it burning then deal with the problem. As long as there was no oil on the tips of the plugs your fine. 


Thanks. oil level is good.
