If you have oil blowing by your spark plug it's because your spark plug hole gaskets are shot.

That's probably causing your random misfire too.

Yeah replace the gaskets and you might also want to check to make sure the plugs are torqued down all the way. If I remember off the top of my head the spark plugs need like 22 ft/lbs or torque.
