it might be worth doing a compression test.if its not ring then a leaky valve seal perhaps.cant think of any other way oil could get to the plug.

Stuck needle valves causing flooding?

Compression test a good idea could be badly worn engine but may well be a malfuntioning ignition system
any other symptons to go on
