Default a lot of oil on plugs

Hey everyone, im a newbie and this is my first post on here, My problem is: I just finished changing the water pump, ran it for bout 20 minutes with no problems and then she stalled and wont start again, just turns. I was checking for spark when i seen oil in 1,3,4 cylinders. I hope i dont need a motor swap.

is it just on the top of the spark plugs? or are you burning oil? Sounds like the seal for the spark plug is gone and leaking oil ontop of the spark plugs, I have the same problem in my #4 cylendar right now, but my car is still running

remove the valve cover and check the seal for the sparks..
remember to use some silicone when you close again the valve cover...

k, This morning she started right up but started sputtering when it got up to temp. Found a bad ground andchangedit and it helped drasticaly. Drove it around the block, staying uphill incase I had to push it home, parked it and went for my second walk to canadian tire and got plugs and a cap, changed the cap but i cant get the screw off the rotor button. She runs awsome now but I still wanna try and rectify the oil prob. I was looking at em closer and the oil is comming from the top and not the cylinder. Thanks for the help.
