Default oil in spark plugs!!!

i let my friend drive my car today and he came back and sed that the car was idling funny.i sed it was only firing off 3 cylinders and to pop the hood.the # 3 spark plug had blow'n out of its housing.i pushed it in the pulled it back out.the plug was drowning in oil.my friend sed the it was just a gasket that need to be replaced, If this is the case what gasket kit will work. a 95 and up gsr gasket kit? i hope to god he didnt fry my rings. he sed it happend a couple of time on his old skoool toyota and it was from using a breather tub instead of running the hose to the intake"wich i hade on up until 45 min ago" does this sound just like a bad seal? i know that my valve cover seal is done allready.

Where on the spark plug is the oil on? If it's on the actual electrode itself, your rings are fuxored. If just on the threads, a valve cover gasket kit with the spark plug seals will fix it.

Its probably just a valve cover gasket kit.

yup yup problem fixed.i ws told to get a valve cover gasket kit, and any b series would work all interchangable. WRONG the part i needed did fit "the gaskets that go around the spark plugs" but i also needed a new valve cover and the one for the teggy was to big.but hey all is well so far.
