Is the plug fouled? Find out if indeed its coming from the hole
or is actually a valve cover leak.. Is the car using oil? Any
blue smoke? Let us know... Good luck..

Sounds like a possible valve cover gasket leak!

If the spark plug threads are oily but the electrodes are not more sooty than other plugs, suspect the valve covers.
