car wont start...wet plugs but not fuel...

my FD just wont start...it cranks but wont start...it overheated quite a bit in the past, once running past the redline for a couple miles(ouch!). but the spark plugs are wet, not with fuel, and not with coolant(it doesnt have that green tint), so im stumped, i checked alot, wiring, connections, cooling, i drilled 2 holes in my thermostat(i did drive the car with no thermostat before)...need some major help.
also, car only has 53k miles...
Mods are D-pipe, muffler, intake(2 differ filters though), Blitz BOV(still cant get it set).

You sure it's not fuel and it's not flooded? Do the plugs smell like gas?

they dont smell like gas, and the wetness is kinda thick(not too much, but more than gas and water) and it is a little brown(kinda).

Sounds like oil. You should snap a pic and post it. There's a few guys that can read them like tea leaves.
