its the 3.0 V6 not the 2.x turbo

When i was changing the spark plugs, some of the spark plugs came out dripping in oil, and there was oil in the cylinder. Whenever I park, I pull away to a small pool of oil. How serious is this problem and how can it be fixed.
around 103K miles

it doesn't smoke when i start it or run it. just the time when i changed the plugs

This oil leak is normally caused by poorly sealed cam covers.Replace the gaskets and all should be fine.
ps;DONT overtighten the bolts as the covers are made of plastic..
