Coil packs are a very common cause of engine misfire on that car but other possible causes also.

any ideas about the oil in the spark plug hole

On early cars they had problems with the valve cover gasket leaking oil into the plug wells and modified gasket. Oil / dirt building up in there can cause misfiring.
