need your advice changing spark plugs rt now

I am working on my 1999 porsche boxster right now trying to change out spark plugs...Is it necessary to replace the spark plug tube seal? Or can it be replaced at a later time? When the coil was removed there was oil inside the tube, the coil had oil on it but none of the oil was inside the spark plug itself… does the tube have to be replaced right away?

@wannagofast - You can easily replace the spark plug tube (or seal) at a later time but don't let it go too long as the coil packs weren't designed to be continually soaked in oil, but don't freak about it, its been fine thus far and should be ok until you can get it fixed.
