Ok so my car is starting to tick me off. Anyway I came home today and my bro was gonna take my car, as he started it , it wouldn't start so we let it sit for a few mins. Then i try to start it it starts fine but its it running ruff. I look under the hood and i notice oil in one of the spark plug holes (the one closest to the driver side) I know that there shouldn't be oil there but i have no clue how it got there.
Does anyone know why i might have oil there and how i would fix this cause it could start a fire I think!!

First clean and dry where the oil is, then you will be able to see if it comes back and where is it coming from. BTW check your oil level since lack of oil will for sure kill an engine. The washer fluid tank is an easy fix, clean it up good and sand it a little where thr crack is, apply some epoxy glue, plastic steel from epoxy fixed mine about 2 years ago and it is still going strong.
Is it seeping down the head from a bad valve cover gasket? Do you see an oil trail?
But even still...if oil was leaking down into the spark plug area, it couldn't actually get INTO the plug itself. Not sure why you're running rough
well there is an oil train so im gonna see if the bolt are tight and then im gonna clean it up and check it in a week or two
try changin the valve cover gasket and the o-ring gaskets, it sounds like the same thing that happened to my wife's neon. it worked perfect for a few days then when back to startin ruff again, im thinkin its a piston ring tho
