Plugs changed and now Blue Smoke

If I am reading this correctly your plug was wet on the top right ( coil side)? not wet on the electrode? If there was oil from the valve cover

not wet on the electrode? If there was oil from the valve cover in the spark plug hole when you removed the plug naturally some oil drained into that cylinder.( causing blue smoke now ) The car should be okay to drive but you may want to get the parts together to stop the leak.

Also the smoke will stop once the small amount of oil burns out of that cylinder.
