Default Common Problem ? Valve Cover Gasket Leaking Causing Misfire

is it common for a valve cover gasket to leak around the spark plug causing oil to foul out the plug ?

my car was shuddering and spitting yesterday and i took it to the mechanic. read the codes and took the boot off of plug 3 and it was full of oil. he said it was a common problem with cars that had recessed plugs.

wondering what you guys thought.

thanks.
