the compression is just a little low. a fresh motor should be between 115-120psi but atleast above 100psi. so your good there for a while. the oily plug means that your running a little rich. might check your air screw and make sure its at factory setting (dont have my book infront of me to check what its supposed to be.) the fuel coming out of the bowl means either the float is slightly off or the needle seat/valve are wore and letting fuel constantly flow into the bowl. might jut be able to get away with a good cleaning. just my 2 cents.
