Yes. It should fix the oil dripping into the plug valley. Not much else can cause that.
I say it is not normal to loose coolant if every thing is working properly. You have a leak somewhere. Start looking at coolant lines and I would pressure test the coolant system for leaks. Hopefully it is not a BHG

What ^^ he said about the valve cover gaskets.
As far as the coolant disappearing, that is definitely not a good sign...do you see any coolant leaking from anywhere? Or any on the ground after it has been parked? Does the temp. spike(overheating)? Any smoke out of the exhaust (after warm up)? Waterfall sound behind dash? Milky stuff under you oil cap, and on your dipstick?
If you answered yes, to any of the following questions, then it is likely a BHG...

On mine I couldn't see any leaks then found, one day out of the blue, that coolant was dripping from the radiator cap. Easy fixed.
i had that problem with my n/a. It resulted in a BHG. but of course try valve cover gaskets first. They are much much much cheaper.
i cant find any coolant leaks anywhere actually...the coolant in the radiator is always filled and never empty.. its just the coolant in the coolant resavoir goes empy pretty fast thats bothering me..i dont have any smoke after warm up too and the car driver great no overheating at all..
Same thing happened to me. All I did is keep adding collant and it stopped. So i'm guessing I had air in the system somwhere that had to work it's way out. Try running the car with the resivoir upto the full line WITHOUT the radiator cap on. This will work out any air pockets in your coolant system. once you notice the radiator isn't toped off and the level is dropping just add more collant until it stops.supraturbo510 said:
but if you didn't fill the reservoir every other week, your radiator would begin to loose coolant too 
follow their advice, along with a compression test
