Plenty of recent posts about oil in the distributor cap. It is a common problem, but as long as you are only getting mild seepage in to the cap, nothing that cleaning every couple of months won't rectify. The distributor itself is an expensive component which I would leave alone.
Plugs are not difficult as long as you have a deep reach plug socket. Start them off by hand to avoid cross threading and torque them up to 27 Nm (20 lbf ft). This isn't very high and if you're concerned about doing it, a friendly mechanic would be able to show you how it's done.
Watch your HT leads as you work on the distributor cap and plugs - keep a note of which lead goes where.
