Default Spark plugs drenched in oil

My car just shut off about a week ago while driving. I had it pressure tested and the mechanic said there was no pressure. So I had it towed home and I pulled the spark plug cables out and it was drenched in oil. Every cylinder was like that. I actually replaced the valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals before my car broke down. Im thinking its the O-ring between the cam cap's and head...any comments or tips would be appreciated.
