Should there be oil dripping off the old spark plugs when changing?

Do you mean dripping off the inside or outside of the plug? If it's dripping off the outside, you probaly have a bad valve cover gasket. If it's dripping off the inside, you probably have bad rings or valve seals. In either case, there shouldn't be oil on the sparkplug, either inside or out. If it's oil on the outside of the plug, it won't hurt your engine unless you're losing lots of oil, quickly. One way to stop or slow the bleeding is to really tighten the bolts that line the top of the valve cover. Older engines especially. If that doesn't work, consider the gasket which is relatively easy and inexpensive to replace.
