I think I screwed up in my diagnosis (blowing oil)

I've been starting to blow some blue oil and it was kind of acting like valve stem seals. let it idle for a little and it'd smoke a bit more, but if I were to give it a bunch of little revs and then a 5-6k rev it would bellow smoke, but it wasn't too bad while driving and it go away for the most part when I was in boost. I pulled my plugs the first time and they looked ok, so I figured valve stem seals on the exhaust side or something. I go ahead and show a few other people (in the garage) how it was blowing smoke, shut it off right away and started ripping it apart. I pulled my plugs after I got my cams out and noticed plug four looked a little juicy (they're in reverse order in the picture, so in the picture, the plug on the very right, came out of the chamber on the very left). This chamber seems to be the one that is closest to the PCV valve. So my question is...

Am I an idiot, or am I just mildly stupid? Or do you guys think it could be something else.
