Spark plug seals, pretty sure whoever you're buying from will understand anyway if you explain the above to them.

i had the same issue, except i didn't misfire. just used my air compressor to blow the oil and residue out, then changed the plugs n made sure they were put in nice n tight.

it COULD be a rocker cover seal... have you changed the plugs over and tightened to spec? still having the same issue?

There's only one seal between oil and the spark plug hole - the spark plug seal. 4 little round seals that live on the same plane as the rocker cover gasket. You can probably buy them on their own from Honda; I bought them in the upper gasket kit which includes a rocker cover gasket and new rubber/plastic sealing washers for the rocker cover bolts.

Rubber seals don't last forever. Get a replacement, install it properly (FULLY clean the surfaces of all dirt and oil) and you won't have to worry for another 10 years.

Cylinder tube seals.About $17 each from Honda.

There's a bit on em' at the bottom of this DIY:

yer i fixd it by sucking out the oil/water from the sparkplug things and then put new plugs in em,... havnt had a problem yet.. though i think the seals may be worn out abit.

They are,that's how the oil is getting in.It will come back over time I bet.Best to replace the cylinder tube seals if it does.
