5SFE engine is prone to valve cover gasket leak. That leak causes the oil to foul the spark plugs, and then leaks out of the valve cover causing oil mess all over the engine.

Also, I would check around your crankshaft pulley and oil pan for possible leaks.

5sfe engines with high mileage will typically leak from the valve cover gasket, distributor o-ring and seals behind the timing belt such as the cam shaft seal, front crank seal, oil pump shaft seal and oil pump o-ring. The spark plug tubes will fill up with oil possibly ruining your ignition wire set. A good cleaning then observation should show you where the bulk of your leaks are coming from.
