sorry, misread your post... i thought you said coolant (dunno why)

it could be as simple as the spark plug seals on the valve cover... check these out first

its on the lower part of the spark plug, so does that mean the O-ring is bad and need changing? and where is the O-ring located anyway?

no, that's worse, it could be bad piston rings, valve seals, lotta different reasons.. i suggest a compression test. the o-rings are on the underside of the valve cover...

define "lower part of the spark plug".

Replace the spark plug gaskets and then see if the problem is still there.
