I have a '98 gt and i was changing the spark plugs and there was oil in the spark plug cylinders in #3 &#4 the rest were fine but all the plugs were dry does my intake manifold leak a little and it just builds up in there ?

I would do a leakdown test on the engine to check the condition of it. The oil on those plugs might be a sign of worn piston rings.
