i'm sure you probably checked already, but you said you had recently done spark plugs and coil packs, depending on year of car did you change the spark plug tubes as well? if not, perhaps in the swap you somehow loosened one of the tubes and it's not seated correctly. Look from each of the coil packs and see if oil is dripping out of one of those holes.
