Just changed my plugs and wires (Motorcraft copper & Taylor wires). When pulling out the old plugs I noticed oxidation/rust on the plugs and old boots. Is this a problem?

I also have lots of oil on the plug near the VCT solenoid. I need to replace it, any good suggestions on where I can get the part cheap? I have already been quoted $70 from one dealership. Rockauto does not carry it.

Thanks for the help
