Toyota Celica Spark Problem

My car wont start. It turnsover but doesnt start. It randomly shut off one day, and i thought it was because there wasnt alot of oil in there, but it was like half full. There is now a lot of oil in one of the spark plugs, they have spark but idk why theres alot of oil in there. Still wont start.

If the oil is on the outside of the engine (in the plug tower), chances are you have a leaking valve cover gasket. As far as the no start, are you getting good spark and fuel to the engine?
