If you are talking about oil on the outside of the spark plug then you have a leaking valve cover gasket. Oil on the spark plug electrode is a sign of defective rings and an engine in need of an overhaul.

I am not a professional mechanic but i think that you might have blown rings on the pistons that have oil on the spark plugs. what is probably happening is the rings are bad so, you are not getting good if any compression in the cylinders and the oil on the plugs is probably from a bad oil control ring also on the pistons and the oil is getting past the pistons onto the plugs.
