You have problems. It could be piston rings or valve seals. Either way you have major problems that will require removing the heads.

A 2: I had oil on top of my plugs and it was due to a bad valve cover gasket. This depends on if your oil was on the top or bottom of the plugs. If on bottom refer to the first answer.

A 3: They are both right but I had the same problem and it was because the ignition coil was bad and it wasn't sparking right, spark plug had a mix of both oil and fuel.

What do you check when your not getting any spark on a 1984 Ford Ranger?

Assuming you mean no spark at the spark plugs; check for spark at the coil - if you have spark, then remove the distributor cap and check the rotor and contacts for corrosion. If you don't have spark at the coil, then either the coil is bad or you have a broken wire in the system. (Coils seldom go bad but there is always that possibility). Hope this helps.
