I needed oil added to my engine, I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and I believe I poured it into the spark plug housing. (not sure if that's what its called) I seen an oil cap on top of the engine and poured 2 quarts in, today I noticed that it didn't say engine oil, it said some kind of oil. Now I got oil on my plugs and ignition coils and I'm sure there is still all that oil in it. Its hard to start but I don't think I put more that 150 miles on it since then. Did I ruin my car or can it be fixed cheap and easy

Who knows? You haven't been able to tell us where you put it yet. You need to identify where you put it before we can determine if you did any real harm. You may have even put it into the right place and just poured it too fast and caused it to overflow into spark plug holes. Can you take a picture and post it here?

That is the correct place to add engine oil.

So I must have bad gaskets or o-rings?

If you have oil in the spark plug holes, then you spilled it in there or you have a bad valve cover gasket. That seals off the spark plug tubes from the oil.
