Should I get some new spark plugs?
I have a 2003 350z, with 72k miles. I'm pretty sure the car still has the original plugs. I know a lot of people reccomend 100k miles, but is it worth changing them now? I mean it has been 9 years now on the original plugs...

You will likely find oil in the spark plugs wells, but it won't be the valve cover gasket that is the culprit. There are indivual seals for each spark plug well that are built into the valve cover.
There is a company that will sell the individual seals, but you have to cut your valve cover to remove the old ones. If you mess up then you have to get new valve covers. That same company offers valve covers with the seals already replaced and its not to expensive if you send them your old valve covers once you are done.
