 The Plugs are in Order from Cylinder 1 to 4, the last one covered in Oil is Cylinder 4, Does that mean one of the seals for the spark plug tubes is leaking? |

When the tip of the plug is practically drowned in excess oil, this condition is known as wet fouling.
In an overhead valve engine, the oil may be entering the combustion chamber by flowing past worn valve guides or valve guide seals. Worn piston rings or valve seals may allow too much oil to leak into the combustion chamber, leading to oil fouling. |
