Really? I think that's a pretty good test.
If he is getting a nice blue spark..... I think we can rule out that the plug isn't getting grounded good. Plus, if the coil was failing, I doubt he would get a nice spark even when the coil was cold.

Oil on the plug can also be caused by low compression due to a stuck valve.
K series Kohlers don't have valve seals.
