George,

I think your looking at one of two possibilities (neither bad).  First
is the spart plugs on those 3 cylinders were loose, which is why oil
was able to get by the plugs and get in cotact with the bottom of the
plug connectors.  If that's not the case, then you have a leaking
valve cover gasket(s) which need(s) to be replaced.

Good luck.

Ingo
