Default Spark plug problem #2

So if you check my old topics i had a problem with spark plugs breaking.. alot..

Well i got everything checked and there was no backpressure or nothing that could have been causing it.. So i decided hey lets change all 8 plugs again cuz maybe i screwed em up last time and they broke cuz i overtightened em or something..

Well i changed em yesturday morning, i will take pictures a little later, and the back two plugs(closer to the firewall) on the passenger side, were covered in oil. The bottom of the plug, and the top of the plug.

Someone told me it may be a piston ring and im in a sense screwed....

Any ideas?

could also be a valve seal on the head thats leaking as well..id go with that before a pistion ring...get a compression test done .. see if any leaks can be found with that

Need a better defination of the problem. What exactly do you mean by the bottom of the plug & the top of the plug. Is the electrode oil fouled or do you have oil in the spark plug well in the head & the outside of the plug has oil on it.

There was no oil like in the electrode, but there was oil all of the threads, above the threads, and on the top terminal(top)
