Default Random Misfire Read more

Alright about a 2 weeks ago i got a light on my car took it to get a computer check it turned out to be a random misfire in a cylinder but they couldnt pin point it. So today at a stop light just sitting there my light goes on and the car started to rumble n shake..i thought i could of been running out of gas beings i was pretty low on fuel liek on the E line. I added 10$ into the tank went to start it and it rumbled a second and started up it was a little rough at the beginning and then it ran perfectly fine i took it for a drive and everything seems alright although the check engine light is still on. I also pulled my plug wires off at the gas station and noticed some oil. Any tips on to what it could be

if you have oil on your spark plugs then its probably bad valve seals.
