The car has been running a bit rought lately so I decided to check all the hoses for leaks and the spark plugs and when I pulled the front 3 plugs out the thread off the plug was coverd in oil.An suggestions what might be going on.

Seems like the the socket isn't getting a bite on the plug so I can't get it loose any suggestions.
