Default Why?
Why are the plugs oily with gunk at the tips? Did I drive them in too far? I do not think I have a leaky valve cover gasket.

The stuff on the end of the threads there? That's pretty normal. Consider cylinder pressures while the engine is running. Not too much of a stretch for combustion gases to get forced a ways up the threads.
