Glowplug replacement

I got into the drivers side valve cover and replaced the glowplugs, I could not find any that seemed bad after testing them with an ohm meter but replaced them anyhow, my luck is that the bad ones will be on the passenger side. I have a couple questions, can you test to see if there is a bad one without getting the valve cover off, and when I removed the old ones they were covered with oil is this normal? Thanks in advance for any input.

You can ohm the plugs with the valve cover on.
