Bad valve seals or bad rings are the most common causes. If the oil is in the spark plug well, the valve cover gasket is probably leaking.

If the oil is on the spark plug tip (inside the engine), the piston rings are probably worn in which case the vehicle would be emitting blue-gray smoke from the exhaust pipe.
