Valve gaskets

Valve gaskets
I recently changed the valve cover gasket and also the gaskets for the spark plugs that are on top. My problem is that one of the spark plug wires keeps popping out so now I'm thinking I should replace the o ring of the spark plug well under the rocker arms. My question is if the first listing is the correct one as the second one looks like the ones I recently replaced that are on top of the spark plug wells.

Spark plug wires popping out means that pressure from the cylinder is escaping-- either the plug is not tight, the metal gasket on the plug is bad / missing, or the plug is defective. There isn't any significant pressure under the valve cover, if there were the whole cover would blow off.

Seems like the spark plugs had gone bad from the oil that leaked in and so I changed the spark plugs and wires (NGK) . One wire plug broke when I pulled on it which took a while to get out. When I last filled up I was getting 27 mpg. I have yet to get some mpg numbers from the mini tune up but it seems good.
I still have a concern of where my oil keeps disappearing to since my car doesn't leak. Possible faulty head gasket? Any ideas?
