Default oil in spark plug area

So, my code of cylinder 7 misfiring. I pulled my 7 and 8 spark plug and there was oil in both spark plug areas. Could this be bad valve covers, bad rings, any thoughts. I figure the misfire is being caused by the oil on the plugs. Or I guess, it could be bad valve covers allowing oil into those areas, but the ignition plug on 7 is bad. So frustrating.

any thoughts

Man, don’t start new threads with the same topic/question... This unnecessarily clutters the forum. Just wait for replies.

I'd go for the valve cover gasket as the first thing to check/replace.
