need help spark plugs have oil

[Protegempthree]

The other day i was changing my spark plugs and i noticed there was oil on 2 of them the center 2 not alot as if i am loosing oil just a very small amount on the white top part of the spark plug. Is that something bad maybe the head gasket needs replacement? All help appreciated.

Could be coming in from a number of places.

Main places would be valve cover gasket or piston rings

Wait, when you say "white top part" do you mean the ceramic insulator where the cable clips on? If yes, most defenetly the valve cover gasket. Easy fix.

Yes the ceramic insulator. I already changed the valve cover gasket and put new plugs in but seems like theres still a small amount less than before.

Im going to take the spark plugs out and clean inside and see how much oil over time it get. Because im not really loosing oil. Also before i noticed that the car was stalling. It wouldnt want to run good and i disconnected the battery and it got fixed a friend said the computer might of gotten reprogrammed. Would that have something to do with it? Oh and that day i did loose oil i had to put in a quart of oil.
