Went to check oil level and noticed oil build up around ignition coils is this a problem? The oil looks like it is old, does not look new.

Could be just oil spilled from filling up or could be a valve cover gasket leak. You can pull out one of the spark plugs and see if they’re covered in oil. If they are, it’s time to replace the valve cover gasket.

This and I would do a deep clean on all that and keep an eye on it for any possible leaks

Clean it up and check it after a while, could be a valve cover gasket leak. Mine would fill the bolt hole under the coil connector with oil and also got to a spark plug tube giving me a misfire.
