Yes it's bad, but it's a pretty easy fix. If you take your valve cover off and look in the spark plug holes you will see 4 rubber 0-rings. They are called spark plug tube seals. You can usually purchase these at an auto parts store in a valve cover gasket kit, which you'll probably want anyways. It's pretty self explanitory from there, just pop in the new tube seals, pull out the plugs to get the oil out of them (wouldn't be a bad idea to check your plugs at the same time as well) throw the plugs back in, torque everything, and your ready to go.

Also, don't be surprised if your car smokes for a minute while it burns off all the oil that dropped down in the cylinder.
