Oil in spark plug wells
Appears the oil cap is leaking oil that gets in spark plug wells. How is this possible?

not uncommon problem. check your oil cap seal as well as valve cover seals

Make sure you don't tighten the valve covers too much either or they will leak (ask me how I know), filling the spark plug wells with oil.
Finger tight, then another quarter to half turn.
