Bubbling spark plugs

My 1980 MGB leaks a little oil, so I replaced the gasket under the rocker
cover, the  started the car to make sure there was no visible leaking.  I
didn't see any new leaks, but I noticed that there were some bubbles coming
from the old oil that had collected at the base of two of the spark plugs.
I checked to make sure they were snug (they were), and then swapped the
plugs with the ones that were not bubbling.  This resolved one of the
bubblers, but not the other.  The plugs are fairly new Bosch Platinum plugs,
and there didn't seem to be any crossed threads.  Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.
