Its the torque.... Get the specs from ARP, and retorque them... If it still does it you may have fucked up the head gasket.... and also, where is the oil on the plugs???? top side or bottom side???

well if its on the white part of the plug where the wire attaches the it has to be the plug tube seals. replace them and the valve cover gasket and check things like cam timing and ign timing for they will change w/ a thicker head gasket.

when mine did that it was the rings around the plugs on the valve cover. they told me to replace them and the valve gasket if i was switchin' heads. you might be able to check that, if you want to sell it still pm me.

+1 and if the oil gets inside the plug wires they might burn up and arc which will make you car bog down when you lay on it and if the wires are arching then you might also burn up your cap rotor and coil in the process especially at high revs.
If your car is burning the oil and smoking then you most likely have a problem with the headgasket. One fast way to check is to take the headers off and look inside the ports and inside the headers to see if there is sludge buildup.
Hope this helps. Its hard to diagnose a problem without looking at it. Just like a doctor cant diagnose a specific illness without bloodwork. It just cant be done over the phone or net.
Good luck.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.
