Blowby? oil drips from plug.

when i was under the car i saw a drop on the heat shield for the wire. I pulled it out and heres what i got? anyone else seen this from their ls1?
the plug looks fine...but i just thought that was a lot of oil. I pulled other ones out and their doing it too.

I get a little oil on mine as well. I didnt have any on the heat shield for the wire though. I'm not sure what the cause of it is but I would like to know.

Looks like your valve cover is leaking. There is no way you could blow oil like that past your plug without carnage of some sort.

Good luck!!!

the rest of the motor is bone dry, i don't have any other leaks. I can put my finger in the spark plug hole, and feel oil.
