I remember doing all that stuff... Starting with the cheapest solution (oil change, air filter, spark plugs,) to some of the most tedious and time consuming (alternator, distributor & rotor cap, to belts). And it all was solved with a simple $40 MAF off a junk yard.

The fuel injectors and the plugs did have significant amounts of motor oil around their ring. But that is only normal for third gens in need of replacing the overall "engine gasket" (sorry I don't know the name of the red area where motor oil is added). That's the reason for most oil leaks for 3rd gen. Believe it or not, it takes a whole lot for motor oil to leak into a spark plug or an injector. Is not impossible, but it is very dificult.
