A LOT of oil in spark plug well

Hi
Ive got an AW11 which has been laid up for 6 years. I drove it into the garage 6 years ago when it was running fine and Ive started it a couple of times over the years but last time it wasn't idling too well. Ive removed the plugs today and the plug voids are swimming in oil the iridium tips actually being underwater (or under oil ) with a bit of oil in the valley Ive heard a lot about valve cover seals going which I imagine could account for some oil but the plug voids are swimming in oil . Shall I just fit new seals and leave the centre metal section off and see if it will burn off and give it a go ?
