Default Oil on spark plugs??

I was doing a compression test recently on my 91' Accord EX-R and i realized there was a fair but not an extreme amount of oil coated on all 4 of the spark plugs....
What could cause this?

I know its probably something stupid like a gasket Im just not positive what it could be....

if its the threads then the valve cover gasket has gone bad.

If its on the actual plug it would be the rings on your pistons......oil in the combustion chamber is not really a good thing.

hey its not only your valve cover gasket thats bad but change the rubber gormmets of the valve cover. You can get it if you buy a valve cover gasket kit...I had the same problem and the gormmets (rubber circles underneath the top of valve cover ) were the culprits.
