Default jalpa, oil on spark plug

Hello,

Put iridium NGK on my 86 jalpa 22km, one plug had oil on the porcelain.

Where could this be leaking from? get a little smoke after a long drive.

Thank you.

Could be several things:

1- Valve Guides
2- Valve Guide Seals
3- Piston Rings

the valve cover is leaking... no problem it's only screwed with some imbus-nuts, if you need new gaskets let me know I have some laying around I don't need.
