Oil Leak

I just replaced my Spark Plugs this last weekend. When I pulled the coil pack for the number 6 plug, it was dripping in oil. (is it possible that this is due to the whole "excessive oil consumption) I am going to try replacing the valve cover gaskets this weekend. Also now when accelerating between 3000-5000 RPMs it is now sluggish and bogs down.

I also believe that I have a vacumm leak not sure but I hear this sucking noise around the number 2 plug area. Im not too sure about the vacumm leak because I know that if there is one then the car will idle roughly which it is not. Is the computer able to adjust if it detects a vacumm leak? Im going to go buy some carb cleaner and try to find the leak if there is one.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Ok so I figured out why it was bogging down and was sluggish. I disconnected the wiring to the Throttle body, but I didnt reset the ECU. I feel stupid for not realizing this earlier..

A simple search would have solved the problem with oil leaking into #6 cylinder
