Oil on spark plug tip and threads...
I pulled my spark plugs to throw the -8s in and found that #3 had some oil residue on the electrode and threads. Where could the oil be coming from?

Definitely a possibility if your intake runners are massively ported like mine. I pulled all the rocker bolts and put sealant on them after finding globs of oil on the backside of my intake valves after only a few hundred miles after my h/c job. Again, I would expect to see this in multiple positions if this were the problem.

I used a dab of HT RTV near the very top of the thread and it worked well but I'd probably use the 242 if I were to do it now. I was out of it that day. The RTV worked nicely as I checked my runners again recently when I did the Z06 PCV mod and they were clean.
