is it leaking from around the top or around the bottom.
if the bottom is damaged form doing up the plugs too tight (or just repeatedly), you can buy them new from toyota as parts for a 7KE motor (they are the same).
for the rubber, i prefer to use appropriately sized O-rings with a very slight smear of silicon. seals much better.
check that you have not blocked off the rocker cover vents (and PCV) as high crankcase pressure often results in oil being blown out the spark plug tube seals...
if it's just weeping out, try using o-rings...
