Where is the oil coming from? What you may want to do is this...

Clean the engine really well, make sure to get any excess oil off so that when you find some oil, you can figure out where it is coming from.

To make it easier to spot the leak, there is a phosphorescent (glows under blacklight) additive that you can put in your oil. After cleaning the engine really well, add that stuff to your oil and let the car run for a little while. Then get a blacklight under the hood (helps to do this in a dark garage). You should be able to see where the leak is coming from.

The code you are getting is the EGR BOOST SENSOR. Not an EGR Valve flow problem. I cannot say where it is at on a Probe. On a 96 626 4 cyl it is on the passenger side of the engine. On the oil leak on the spark plug wires, if the plugs go deep down the center of the valve cover, you need to replace the valve cover gasket and spark plug hole seals...these will come in the kit.
