Changing plugs, lots of oil on one of them...
So I'm in the middle of changing plugs for the first time on a 2000 5.4 liter.. (just about 100k miles) Doing the drivers side first .. the first 3 plugs all come out normal enough, the last plug (closest to the steering wheel) comes out covered in oil, the socket is covered in oil.. man, lots of oil. I cleaned off the socket and put a new plug in. I've changed plugs maybe a handful of times in other vehicles and not exprerienced this - is it normal, or a sign of a larger problem?
Thanks for your help,
Todd

If so, the plug well is getting oil from some source.
That should show around the top of the boot seal area.
