This is a plug out of a non-firing cylinder out of one of my irrigation motors. You can see it crammed oil into the gap of the plug.

This is bad. This needs an overhaul. Sell the car before you get this. Chevy 350s aren't too expensive to overhaul. This would get ugly.

Thanks for the reply but I think I found the answer actually. I was watching some videos on replacing the gasket on the valve covers and the guy pulled his off and had the exact same shit in the exact same plug. Turns out that back valve cover has built in rubber gaskets that go around the spark plug tube that are notorious for rotting out and allow oil to seep into the spark plug. His was actually a lot worse then mine was... his coil was completely soaked in it. I looked at my coil again just to check and it did have some oil on it. I already ordered a new valve cover. Pretty certain that will take care of the issue here.
