I haven't taken off the valve cover yet to get a good look. Is this something I should be worried about?? Please advise ASAP. Thanks. Beaz '97 Contour

Have to get new plugs, and do some cleaning. Disregard first post, I have it under control. Just shocked the hell out of me at first. Oh well, just another thing to fix on my lovely Contour.
