Default Where is this oil coming from?

Hi guys,

Where would this oil be coming from? Head Gasket? Rocker Gasket?



It's not deep in the hole of the spark plug, i.e. plug still works fine, just around the rim where the ignition lead goes in.

The car is running fine, doesn't appear to be burning oil, MPG seems fine, no smoke out the exhaust. BUT oil does smell slightly fuelly.

Any help would be great!

I did a bit of a google search there, it seemed to indicate the same thing. Just wanting to check in case anyone else has had a similar experience on a boxer engine?
