The reason for the fuel in the head would be that when you turn the key the fuel pump primes it self and begins pumping fuel. If you keep trying to crank the car it will keep pumping fuel to the cylinders, so it floods itself. If the plugs are new just clean them off and let them dry, they should be ok.

check the oil see if it smells of gas, and change it.

That doesnt explain how gas would get on TOP of the cylinder.

Gasoline should not be in the WELLS/spark plug tubes. You have something really weird going on or your not describing it right.

usually oil is found in the spark plug tubes when the tube gaskets leak.
