Answer 1

It's almost time for a rebuild.  Valve guides or piston rings are bad, letting oil into the cylinder.  I bet it smokes some, too, doesn't it?

You might try using an oil additive like Lucas or Marvel Mystery Oil before you spend a couple thousand on a used engine or junk the car.

Answer 2

If you want to junk it because of that, send it my way!

You have a valve cover leakage into the plug tube. At the least you will need a new valve cover gasket with new tube seals, or at most a new valve cover (if it is warped). This is a common problem on that car, but no big deal.

Answer 3

You didn't state what year or how much mileage the car has, also try changing the plug wires, and distributor cap, what you think is oil may only be raw fuel that hasn't burnt, don't forget to change the plugs again too

Answer 4

i'm betting on worn rings needing rebuild, also betting car has had little to no maintenance. replace engine or scrap car your choice.
