I am pretty sure oil consumption of a quart every 1,000 miles is regarded as normal (or at minimum not unusual) for most cars. More than that I think they have a problem, but my truck burned that much.

But in fact, nothing about the post (difficult to understand) or the car (Pin striping on the door?) is normal. And what's with the pumpkin by the rear wheel?

I have the oil in the spark plug chamber that you speak of also. I was told by members of the 350Z club here in town that it is due to the valve cover gasket. They said that there is the main gasket, and then each spark plug chamber has its own little nipple and if it gets messed up, oil will leak down into the top side of the chamber. If you were getting a significant amount of oil in the combustion chamber youd be blowing blue smoke. If you changed the plug and then blew smoke, its because the oil leaked into the chamber when you pulled the plug. I was told that its not that big of a deal, but should get it taken care of so it doesnt shortout the coil pack.
