Take the head off and see whats going on. Run a compression test see what your at. Check the Head gasket. Thats good for starters.

Try putting a spoon full of oil in the next time you test it. If the reading goes up, it's probably a bad ring.

make sure it's not not your spark plug tube seals on your valve cover, if those are leaking then it will pour down all over the plug once removed. did your plug wires have oil on them when pulled off?if so then replace your v.c gasket and tube seals,hopefully it's an easy fix and you don't have to pull the head.

i say its the the gromets under the valve cover also. get a new vc gasket and sparkplug tube gaskets and see if that helps.
