Default spark plug, leaking is this a problem? - see pic

Here's a picture of my spark plug that appears to be leaking. What could the problem be?

Best resolution?

Thanks for any help

If that is oil, you could have a blown headgasket...Remove that sparkplug wire and try to remove as much of that oil with some rags...Check the rest of your plugs, because it might not be the only one that is flooded...New headgasket and head resurfacing is needed GL!

a blown headgasket wont cause the oil to pass through the seal on the sparkplug over the chamber..

Remove the sparkplug wires and take picture and post it so that I can take a better look at the problem...
