HELP: full of oil in spark plug hole
Today when i was changing my spark plugs at 60k miles I pulled out the coil from the spark plug on the side nearest to the battery and there was a whole lot of oil dripping everywhere. There was full of oil in the hole, just that one.
Can you guys tell me what happened?
BTW: All stock, never touched a mod nor dismantled anything except for air filter, oil changes, and spark plug change. The rest are done by infiniti service.

The reason you'll get this on a non modded car can be two-fold:
1 - increased blowby - caused by a bad PCV valve, rings on their way out, improper ignition/timing/fuel delivery causing excess burden on the motor. Question though - how does it run? Perfectly, roughness at idle, and are there any CEL lights at all? Is it hard to start, at all, ever?
2 - the valve cover gaskets have just worn out, as these cars produce excessive blowby anyway.
Well...good luck..let us know what happens.

I have the same issue on the #6 cylinder which is opposite yours. The oil was on the coil tip. The car runs fine so I'm assuming at this point, my valve cover seal may be the culprit. After changing the plugs and noticing the oil, I soaked it up with a clean rag and ran the car over the weekend and pulled the plug again and there was a small trace of oil back in the socket.
