Default wet 4th cylinder? why?!?!

alright here it is. i have a 95 coupe with a 00' b16a2 swap. i look down into the 4th cylinder (the one farthest away from the distributor), and it was wet a little, all the other cylinders were more dry and look the same. could it be oil or fuel? is this normal or should i worry about something? should it smoke under heave acceleration? recently rebuilt motor (4K miles) and running full synthetic oil.

If you are not burning oil and your plugs look good, then i wouldnt worry about it.
You might have a leaky injector, run some injector cleaner.
fyi the cyl. farthest from the dizzy is #1

First off, that is cylinder #1, not 4.

Next, where EXACTLY are you seeing the oil? In the sparkplug hole? On top of the piston after removing the plug? Where?
