Any oil leaks you're aware of? Seems to me like you're cylinder 4 spark plug isn't firing due to probably an oil leak getting into the cylinder causing the plug to foul. Either that or a warped head/blown head gasket. I'd take out that spark plug and see if either oil or coolant is on the plug.

The plug that had oil on it, was it wet or was it just black from carbon build-up?

Doubtful. That wouldn't foul out your plug. Do you smell gas? It'll probably oil on the plug. Try replacing the spark plug tube seals. Shouldn't be in the least bit wet.
