The Boxer Plug

This plug has a broken or split nose. You could just be seeing a crack appearing in the nose of the plug. Check to make sure your vee dub is not

overheating. As a rule of thumb go on a long drive and stop when the engine
is warmed up, you should be able to remove the dipstick (it will be hot !) and
hold it by passing it from hand to hand. If it's untouchable your engines way too hot.

If that's ok rich up your fuel mixture a bit and check your timing, one of these
things should cure the problem.
