Got a question to ask

I think I got the temp problem solved by adding a stop leak to the coolant, and it seemed to fix the problem. I dont smell coolant in the exhaust, dont see oil in the coolant, and the oil level stays the same. I do notice a milky oil cap though, but the oil level stays the same. Im going to change the oil, and add zmax and lucas to the oil to protect the internals. I also did a tune up and noticed that the 5 cylinder spark plug was coverd in oil, is that a valve cover gasket leak internally, and if not what could that be. I didnt pressure test the cooland system to see if the head gasket is bad. The turbo spoils, but the car does stumble when its near 8 psi. There is no shaft play on the turbo, and the vac at idle is -22 to -24 vac from the motor.
