That has me concerned. Remove the #3 plug and crank the engine. Does oil come out? Check compression in that cylinder. It sounds like something is in the cylinder.

I don't feel any of the gasket could get in there, but it could cause the oil to which makes me question if that is what is causing the plug damage. Remember, you can compress air, but oil won't. If enough gets in there, it could damage the plug and eventually bearings, connecting rod, piston...
