Default Oil in Spark plug

What could be the problem?..
Its a D16y7 Motor

Car iddles fine, no smoking thru the exhaust, just when the car starts cold in the morning but when it warms up no smoking at all the rest of the day.Car is not overheating either. Oil level checked every 2 days and its not burning/consuming oil.Oil levels are fine.

I checked my plugs and #4 plug had oil all over..Spark plug "head" had oil there was oil in the spark plug screw even the Spark plug Wire had oil... Its the 2nd time in a week i check the plugs and it comes out with oil..Just that spark plug..all others are fine

The Oil seals around the Spark plugs in the valve cover were replaced with new ones 2-3 months ago.

Car is not tuned yet.

This is what I was going to suggest as I had the same problem. I'd check them anyways and see if maybe they were defective.

Hmm ok..Actually i pulled out the spark plug wire and checkes and it seem there is a lil bit of oil at the top of the S.Plug tube so im guessing that specific seal might be fed up..maybe it stopped sealing well..

Thanks
