Limped home last night with what I thought was an ignition coil going bad. Pulled the covers and started pulling coils.... 2 and 4 have oil in the spark plug wells.

Well, this 2 hour project just turned to 6 - 8 hours.

What would be best case scenario for the oil on the plugs?

I think the oil was in the spark plug wells, meaning a leaky valve cover gasket?

Pulling the valve cover and replacing the spark plug well seals. Car has right at 197k miles and I was expecting to do it in the future.

That's why I have all four gaskets I need
