This is my moms car. She drives a 95 Accord LX auto car has 59k on it. I was changing her plugs,cap, rotor, wires and i noticed oil on the cap. The oil was only on the cap not inside. Then i went to change the plugs and in cylinder #3 i found oil sitting in there. The other cylinders were fine though. Any ideas what the problem may be ?

Most likely it is the spark plug seal under the valve cover worn out.

valve cover gasket is another good point
my car had a bad valve cover gasket and i had oil on my spark plugs.

Yes, it could be that simple. Most times, unfortunatly, it isn't (orings under the rockerarm assembly). Check this link out. And good luck.

There are other links too, if you decide to change them yourself (orings).
