Default Look at these plugs please!!!

Plug guys...I have a missing problem. I keep throwing random misfire code when starting up then after a few minutes the car runs fine and ses light goes away. I pulled the plugs and checked wires. The four on the left are drivers side and four on right are pass side. The pass side look normal to me, but if you look at the drivers side plugs they are soaked in oil. When I pulled a couple out oil actually dripped off. What do you think???

To be honest bud you need to get some better pics, I can see anything. But if the drivers side plugs are soaked in oil, that normally means that you are getting blow bye, meaning that the rings are letting the oil get by... But I am not totally knowledgable about the ls oiling system.

Its just basically the threads that are soaked all the way down the electroids and stuff look fine. I just have never seen the threads soaked like that when i did previous plug changes.

Thats is farily common in out motors for some reason. I dont drink too much oil, so I dont lose any sleep over it.

I just pulled my plugs and had the same thing on the driver side. Unplugged evap and pcv and was getting a hole bunch of blow by, so you may have the same problem, ran a compression test and 3 and 7 were 65-70 psi
