If you have a fart can then come forward and take your verbal beating like a man.

The guy is asking a simple question.
And who cares what he has done, if anything, to his car. It's just an avatar for goodness sake.

sounds to me like a vacuum leak. as for the oil around one of the spark plugs, check to see that the plug is torqued in there to spec. if it is, it's likely the gasket around the plug (no big deal). i have this same issue and am planning to replace my valve cover and spark plug gaskets.
