I WAS GIVING MY CIVIC A TUNE UP AND WHEN I TOOK THE SPARK PLUGS OUT I NOTICE THEY HAD OIL THE LOWER PART OF THE SPARK PLUG. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT COULD THAT BE, HOW MUCH SO U THINK COST TO FIX IT AND IS IT WORTH FIXING.

Could be a few things (wrong plugs, wrong gap, plug not firing, bad wires, ect...) but you could be developing a ring problem. Make sure you replace them with the correct plug at the right gap and make sure they are all firing. If that checks out, run it for a few days and check the plugs again.

after you try that, do a compression test and then drip a few drops of oil into the spark plug hole, then do another compression test and if the compression is noticeably higher, then you have a ring problem, also, the compression test will show if the engine has other problems, like dirty valves(very dirty) or a blown head gasket. its a good thing to do every once in a while.
