hopefully, it either got on it whben you took it out, or its not oil. if it is oil, it means one of many bad things:
worn pistons allowing oil past the rings(unlikely) bad seal somewhere in the head.

Re: oil on spark plugs
Where was the oil? Top or bottom? If bottom, what tibby01 posted. If top, spark plug grommets and/or tube seals need to be replaced. Grommets are simple, tube seals are a bit more involved(required removing the rocker assy./valve adjustment)

the oil was all over the tip and threads of the plug.
