RE: many mechanical problems with my z28
The engine is misfiring. Revisit the cylinder with the plug that had oil on it. Could be that the plug wire is bad. Also, considering the amount of oil you are burning, the rings or valve seals may be worn out. or there may be some engine damage. Do compression test or a leakdown test & see what condition the engine is in.

ditto on z28pete!
I would add that you may want to try the seafoam process to remove any excess carbon build-up in your motor. The valves and fuel injectors can have excessive buil-up (carbon deposits).
Here are the instructions:

You can disregard the 38 pages of comments. I have read most of the pages and it is mostly people confirming that this process is AWESOME!
I have performed this process on my 94' Z28 and I saw a 2.5 mpg increase in gas mileage. I also noticed smoother idling and MUCH smoother acceleration.
