There are pretty much 2 ways it could happen...... 1. is the valve's and 2.the rings(if you did a leak down test it should be able to tell you, the rings)

Or do you mean on the porclen part of the spark plug? If that is the case then there is gaskets for each one of the spark plugs on the valve cover that could be your problem.

I just recently put the motor back together and i do need a valve adjustment could this be a cause and if i took the plug out would the oil leaking in affect anything or just burn away.

though your second thought might also be why, but i did put new ones in maybe they didnt set right, Any more thoughts??

sounds like your spark plug o-rings in the V/C are leaking
