Oil on the top of my spark plugs

Need a little help from the gear heads on here.
My wife has a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis 4.6L V8. The car has a miss. The diagnostic machine says that #6 is having a misfire. On #6 cylinder I pulled the coil over pack and discovered that the hole that goes down to the spark plug has a bunch of oil in it. I have looked all around the hole and the valve cover does not seem to be leaking.
How can this oil be getting down that hole on top of the spark plug if it is not from the valve cover?

Most likely needs a valve job. Sounds like leaky valve seals and woren out guides.

After removing as much as I could I replaced the spark plug and coil pack. The boot was swollen and loose.
I have made 4 trips getting the car up to temp and letting it cool off between trips. When I got back home I monitored the area to see if there was any sign of oil again. So far no more oil has gotten back on that plug. We will see what happens. I am starting to think the gif that Fish posted might be accurate.

Oh and no there was no oil anywhere else in those tubes.

The boot was swollen and loose because that oil had been collecting there for some time. It had just gotten deep enough to make it mis Fire recently.
Those boots usually don't swell up overnight

Check your number 8 cylinder (The one on the back right). If their is also fluid in it, Its most likely not oil but coolant. Happened to me last summer. Due to the slope and positioning of the gasket between the intake, coolant leaks into the valley and usually fills the #6 and #8 cylinders on the old 4.6L 2V. It just looks like oil because it mixes with dirt and extreme heat.
