Seems to drive fine though. The oil was from inside the engine, and not by spilling over it. I guess some seal busted, but I don't know how much this will cost me! Anyone know how much this could cost to fix?

Well, not really- it's a known issue, and it's just a worn gasket. The spark plug will still fire.
