Question Fuel on spark plugs...

I own an 86 N/A GXL. The car was running fine the night before and I came out to start it in the morning and it wouldn't start. I took out the spark plugs and theres fuel all over them. I dont understand what could be causing this, is the engine just flooded or is there something leaking? What should I do?

First try the unflooding and see what happens. It may just be randomly flooded.

No, it cant be leaky injectors I just replaced them about 2 weeks ago. I tried replacing the spark plugs and that seemed to work. If it happens again I'm going to try the deflooding procedure and see if that's it.
