No, but burning oil will give you bad spark plugs.
No there should not be any oil where you plug your spark plugs into
Could be rings are bad and allowing oil to be pumped up the cylinder walls to spark plugs Could be valve seals/guides allowing oil to comes down from valves into cylinder chamber Do a dry compression test Then a wet compression test (squirt oil int cylinder) and compare readings--if higher on a wet test then rings are probably bad Also if the oil is on the outside of the spark plug and not on the electrode, you have a leaking valve cover.
"Wet" Spark PlugsThe cause of "wet" spark plugs, ignition wiring, and engine stalling depends on what you mean by wet.Your use of the terms wet AND stall suggest that you mean water on the outside of the plugs and on the spark plug wires.If you are talking about external wetness with water, then the cause is usually one of two things:Water from a wet roadway has splashed "up" into the engine compartment and caused the plugs and ignition wiring to be wet, orA combination of temperature and humidity in the atmosphere has resulted in condensation of water vapor on the plugs and wires.In either case, the result is misfiring, rough running, and in the worst case scenario, even stalling.IF on the other hand, by wet you mean liquid fouling of the spark plug terminals inside the engine, this is usually caused by one of two other things:Too much fuel getting to the cylinders, orCrankcase oil leaking into the cylinders, caused by worn or broken piston oil rings.
That strongly implies that the plug or plugs are not firing at all.

oil leaking on your spark plugs in your Lincoln LS because you have a leaking valve cover gasket.
Meaning of Oil on the exterior of engineIF you are talking about "outside" the engine, on the plugs and on the heads around the plugs, then the cause is probably one of two things:Someone spilled oil on the top of the engine [as when adding oil to the crankcase, orThere is a "rocker cover" gasket leak above the area wet with oil.
Fouling spark plugs can happen when the tip temperature is insufficient to burn off carbon, fuel, oil or other deposits and causes spark to leach to metal shell...no spark across plug gap will cause a misfire. Wet-fouled spark plugs must be changed as they won't fire. Dry-fouled spark plugs can sometimes be successfully cleaned by bringing the engine up to the operating temp.
How to replace spark plugs on a 2010 ford fusion
Oil on the outside of the spark plugs is caused by a leaking valve cover gasket. Replace the valve cover gasket. Oil on the electrode of the spark plugs indicates the engine is worn and is burning oil. The only fix for this is an engine rebuild.
