Exclamation Help!!!

Have a valve cover gasket leak and when changing my plugs I noticed oil that seeped down under the coil boot and then onto the top of the plug from there I noticed that the plug was not tightened down very snug and the oil managed to foul out the plug and got oil on top the piston.
Is there anything I can do besides let the oil burn off the cylinder on it's own?

Let is burn on its own or wipe it out with a rag.
FYI I doubt the cam cover is leaking. I bet something in the vent system is clogged and the oil is coming out of the fill cap.

Actually not because the oil is seeping out where the large O rings(part of valve cover gasket) are placed between the valve cover and manifold and dripping down on top of the spark plug. You can see it when you pull off the coil pack and look down where the seam is.

That is pretty odd it is leaking. Maybe someone had it apart and didn't get it right.
That is a big job to replace them.
