Spark plugs covered in oil - how screwed am I?

Dunno about you guys, but a quart of oil loss in 1400 miles isn't all that bad. I burn more than that in my worn out slant, and I'm not driving a fog machine.

Agreed, a quart/1,000-1,500 miles isn't that bad for an original high-mileage engine from the 1970s.
