Car bogs and lacks power in 1st gear. Sluggish till about 4000 rpm

Noticed some oil around the valve cover but I think common for 68,000

what are your thoughts and have any of you experienced this?

I feel it at all temps. Car has been stock it's whole life however I am the second owner. The guy I bought it from was older so I really doubt it was ever modded. It always runs with 91 octane.

Model/year? Last maintenance? Checked for OBDII codes?

Car history? Any known mods? Octane of the fuel? Outside temps you feel it at??
All can have an effect, honest!!
More info you post, the better! (And best keep it in ONE POST, not 6 posts in first year...).
