Re: Oil is leeking from the vave cover of the 1982 honda...
Replace the Cam/Valve cover gasket with a new one, and tighten the bolts gradually in a criss cross pattern until they are all equally torqued. Good luck.

easiest way is to get the dye and poor it into your engine. Then with the dye light you will be able to track the source. On those years the most likely spot was the intake manifold gasket and valve cover gasket. You also could have a blown head gasket that only blew on a oil intake side, doesnt mean that you would over heat
The spark plugs, if getting wet from the engine oil dripping off of the valve cover gasket, is not good.
The boots of the spark plug wires will prevent the contacts from getting oily, but not for long. I would have the valve cover gasket replaced to prevent this from happening. It's not good to get the spark plugs and wires wet with engine oil.
You can get a complete manual from here I havnt downloaded it myself to check, but is a workshop manual. Follow the procedure on the manual :) I love tearing down and rebuilding engines :)
