My 96 saturn sl1 has an oil leak that is allowing oil to pool up in the spark plug holes. No obvious signs of where its coming from, any suggestions? And also sometimes when I shift into gear it hesistates bad, almost like downshifting, and giving it a lot gas sometiimes helps, Clutch or fuel problem?

Well the only place it can really be coming from in that area is your valve cover gasket leaking.
