I may be confused. What part of the spark plug is wet with oil? The white part that sticks out of the head or the electrode end that is in the engine?

If it is the white end that sticks out of the engine, go with my previous post. Change the valve cover gasket.

If it is the other end, change the spark plugs, swap the coil packs from that plug and the next plug and see if it happens again. If it does, to which plug. IE... is it a bad coil pack or a bad spark plug.

Here are a few things which need to be known:
Are you blowing smoke at start up or any other time?
How does she run?
Does she idle smoothly?
Does she accelerate smoothly?
has your mileage changed?
