I recently went on a long trip on the way back my engine had a severe loss of power when taking off and accelerated when i got home went to change the plugs and wires when i took the plugs out they were covered in oil, obviously oil is leaking internally could you tell what would cause the oil to leak into the sparkplugs

Do an engine compression check, possibilities could be valves, rings, seals and cylinder wear
