Is this oil on spark plug thread?

I have the valve cover gasket done, and new plugs.

Looks like the fifth spark plug has oil on thread (second from left)? Maybe not a coincidence that the cylinder five was the one that had a misfire two years ago.

I assume the electrode looks normal. And it looks all spark plug wells aren't that wet at all. Hope this will shed some light into my moderate oil consumption issue. Any input woud be really appreciated!

The spark plugs in pictures are from cylinder #6,5,4,3,2,1. The following photos shows spark plug wells in sequence cylinder #1,2,3,4,5,6.
