That could be a bummer. If you are really unsure, run it again, pull the 
wet plug, let it set for 10 - 20 minutes. If it's gas, it'll be dry. End 
of story. If it's wet -- oil.

Oil would be a bummer -- pretty much the head has to come off to look. 
Luckily on that car it's not TOO hard.

But check compression first.

Last grab at an external source --  is it sucking oil in PCV or vacuum 
line? Look for oil in those lines... esp. if compression is good and 
even in all cylinders!

I know that would be discouraging, but don't give up! If you pull the 
head off carefully chances are you can see the source of the leak, or an 
oily path under the headgasket, etc.
