Thats way too much for the sparkplug holes. Oil isn't that flamable and the coils couldn't be burning it that fast if at all.

I think its just a sudden burning of the oil from the spark plug hole... but im not sure. This nose will happen maybe one time ever 3 days. The first time it happened, I had the throttle in somewhat while starting the car.
