you had a big oil leak there. If the oil under the coil cover got heavy enough it would seep into the plug wells, the coils will seal out dust and dirt but they aren't watertight. I couldnt imagine an engine running very long without spark plug tube gaskets, they must be under the valvecover, otherwise that would be a major fubar. The number 4 plug seems to have some deposits on it, likely related to the oil leak.
I'm pretty sure the oil didn't get past the threads of the spark plugs since I didn't notice white smoke coming out of the exhaust before, but when I pulled out the spark plugs, some oil got into the cylinders and I saw a bit of white smoke when I started the car.
I'm hoping the 4th spark plug is just because I have a bunch of oil in the spark plug tubes.
