Your burning oil , check your plugs for deposits( check oil at every gas up or you will burn up your engine) , Do a tune up ( clean MAF new plugs , air filter).

Start with a compression test before you spend any money tuning it up - running with <1L oil =

Define "around" spark plug. Is oil found on the thread or on the electrode?

dadi, it's a pretty easy job (less than 1 hour). Buy a valve cover gasket and some black RTV silicone sealant.

Here's a great pictorial:
