Certainly sounds like a blown head gasket to me. If you're too lazy to check the oil to make sure, you can always pull off the radiator cap and let the engine run until it's at operating temp and watch for bubbles. That's not a fool-proof way to check it out, but sometimes it works. You could also have a cracked block or bad rings. Either way, there's only one way a plug can get oil on it...and that's either from the top (gasket) or the bottom (rings, block).
