Default sparkplug with oil

Can anyone tell me what it means when you have oil on your sparkplug? I only have it on one of them, the rest are fine...the car runs okay but idles rough when I am stopped and in gear at a red light and the oil light comes on....it is not burning oil and from what I can tell I don't see any leaks...let me know what you think...thanks

Your plug seals are prob worn out.

If you go to Autozone and buy a new valve cover gasket kit it will come with new plug seals that fit inside the valve cover and keep the oil out of the plugs.

as far as the rough idle, that will always be there. It's a neon thing.

What year is your car? I know mine, a 2003, needs a PCM reflash per a TSB. Might be something to look into.
