Are you positive its oil? Could be fuel mixed with the carbon, that will look like oil sometimes. its easy to put the new injectors in and see if your issue went away.
you sure it wasn't from the top, and leaked down as you were pulling them? I have a truck that had a dead miss on #5, at least 3 or 4 of the injectors were covered in oil when pulled. it leaks down form the valve covers sometimes. anyways, repopped them, and put a different tip on the on that had a few plugged holes and it runs smoother than my other truck now!

There is a good possibility that the miss was from the injector not sealing up with the copper washer... This would also explain why the injector is so wet. But if you want to do a compression test now is the time while the injector is out...
