Check for leaks in hoses. Possibly oil from the PVC valve leaked there, if it is on that side. Or a loose valve cover, or bad gasket.
Check those out before swapping heads.

There is an O-ring that seals the spark plug well and keeps oil from leaking into it. As with any valve cover gasket, it will start to leak over time. Sometimes tightening the valve cover bolts will stop the leakage, but more often than not the valve cover gasket, and well seals, will need to be replaced.
