Oil leaks into 2 spark plug tubes. Must I change out new spark plugs again?

What is your question?

36 days ago the valve cover leaked. I installed new valve cover gasket( outer only, and not seals for spark plug tubes because I didn't know they were imbedded into the actual cover). I also installed brand new spark plugs and ignition coils/boots as well. The car had to be used for my spouse to get to work soon. I then made my own seal around the spark plug tubes with Black RTV liquid gasket maker as a temporary solution until I could afford to buy a new 'valve cover' which had the seals imbedded. The 2 tubes started leaking about a week after the installation. I now have the new cover and outer gasket. Do I have to purchase and replace the somewhat already new spark plugs and ignition coils? She has drive about 1500 miles since that repair was made. Do I have to buy new plugs and ign coils? Or can I clean the somewhat new ones up and re-instal?
