Hi !
My scorp spark plugs where black and burnt, the electrodes had been badly mishaped, distanced was about 1 mm.
Is the oil level going down on your engine ? that should explain the oil on plugs.
Mine doesn't consume oil at all, but plugs look bad and black.
If the gap is to big, then the engine will run bad, and yes the emissions will be bad.
Cheers and i hope it will help you a bit

Plugs are very important for emissions often people don't realise.
Yes it will cause high readings.
Plug holes full of oil usally it's water

Well plugs regapped,cleaned,new filter in,lets hope it passes the emissions this time,seems a bit more oomph in the beast now and the tickovers better,perhaps an oil change as well to make trebly sure!

If you still have emission problems you may find a new set of good quality plugs will make even more difference.
