Oil from spark plugs

I've got lube oil coming from the front rotor spark plugs. Is this a problem other than the plugs needing to be tighter? I tried searching, but the only direct parallels were some ancient unanswered posts. Thanks.

You probably have the knock sensor above the front spark plugs leaking. It has some sort of "goo" in it which resembles motor oil.
