Default Spark plug help, Pic included

K, My set-up is a 96 civic with a b18b, I/H/E and NX wet kit jetted to 50. Stock fuel and stock ignition. Plugs are the recommended NGK's. So I checked them today just see whats going on and make sure nothing was wrong. I found oil on 2 of the plugs in very small amounts.

What could cause this? Head gasket starting to go? Rings starting to go? Or is it something as simple as the grommets around the plugs? I hope its the latter and I'll be replacing them soon to find out.

Secondly, I can't really tell if this lean or not, a friend of mine said it looks like a great burn. I'm colorblind and its hard for me to differ slight color changes. So what do you all think? All the plugs look like this:
