Does the car smoke constantly when it runs? If it does, that's a sign of worn rings and will require the motor to be removed to fix. If it smokes upon acceleration after idling for a while or only when you first start the car, it's a sign of bad valve seals and those can be replaced while the motor is in the car. You will need an air compressor, valve spring compressor and adapter for your spark plug size that will allow you to fill the cylinders with compressed air 1 at a time to keep the valves from falling in while you work on them. Those are the 'special' tools. You will also need whatever conventional wrenches and screwdrivers that would be required to remove the valve covers.
Do you mean on the top of the plugs or on the elements?
I saw an Acura with oil on top....an o ring seal problem.
Oil on the elements probably means worn or broken rings. Have someone do a compression test on the cylinders.
SOURCE: oil in spark plugs
this fault could be either worn oil control rings or worn valve stem oil seals or the plug was faulty and not igniting
