Oil around #1 plug

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

have you tried changing your plug?
but if oil is being pushed back up the thread of the plug, sopunds like ya
got some ring job ahead of you. I would do a compression tested just to see.

=>8v engine with a rubber valve cover gasket.  The head is clean
=>(for me) and there is not a line of dirt/old oil dripping down.
=>The oil is just around the #1 plug.  I get a little grey smoke at
=>full throttle launches.

=>  8v or 16v?  If it's an 8v it's probably your valve cover gasket
=>leaking(recommend replacing with a rubber one).    If you don't
=>have black/grey smoke coming out the tailpipe, you're not burning oil btw.
