Just changed my plugs and there all pretty oily, whats the most likely cause of this? (ie what do I need to replace/rip to bits!)

If your plugs are oily then you should be able to see blue smoke from the exhaust.
Are you sure it's not fuel?
If it is oil it could be anything, possibly valve stem oil seals if you are lucky.
Get a compression test done to check cylinder bores/piston/ring integrity.
