It will be an external leak.

The valve cover seals are the main culprit here, possibly leaking at the valve cover bolt heads. You'll have to poke around to find the exact source.

Which plugs? It it near the oil sending unit and maybe the oil is being blown from the filter adapter area?

If it was internal to the engine, the inside of the plug would be affected before the threads.

JMO,
Shoe.
