RE: Oily plugs
Valve cover gasket is leaking buddy.
Theres seals around the spark plug holes on the valve cover.
when those seals go out, oil leaks down into the plug chamber.
Change your VC gasket and you'll be fine.
Its a $20 part from O'Reilly's.

RE: Oily plugs
Are you blowing smoke out the tailpipe? Was the oil on the top of the plug or the tip of the plug (the combustion side)? When was the last time you changed out the PCV? Do you get a CEL at all?
If you are blowing smoke then it could be the gasket or piston rings.
If you the oil is on the top part of the plug, then Josh's fix will work great.
You could have an open PCV allowing oil to get into the chamber (more than normal) and it could also cause a vacuum leak if it is open and give you poor idle issues.

RE: Oily plugs
Allright silver thank you sooo much for your feedback you have ALWAYS been a lifesaver, i am NOT blowing smoke out of the tailpipe, im totally clear, the oil is on the spark side, but theres and amber/oil like burnt stain from the porcelain side, its weird ill post pics later, pvc change.... NOOOO idea seriously... and no, not cel at all... just a rough idle which has almost dissapeared after the spark plug change, and a LIL bit of knocking? i dunno, a lil nuts sound that at around 3-4k rpms that goes away, kinda like when the cars get hot or dont have oil (which is not my situation any of those 2). Imma change the gaskets soon to make 100% sure about it, thnx guys again
