Leaking oil around the head gasket is not normal, for any bike or car or truck, or anything else with a motor. Mine was leaking and I replaced it, with help from a guy with all the right tools. If the pop you heard was the head gasket blowing, there would be lots of oil, and almost no compression. After changing mine, there has been no leaks at all. And there shouldn't be. The plug cap seal can leak, and most do eventually, but I doubt that there would be any loss of compression from that. It's more of an annoyance than anything else.
