I have a 1985 Mazda RX7, the other day I went out checked the fluids and to start it after 6 years (over seas), it cranks over but wont start. I popped the hood and noticed a sizable oil pool under the car on the driver side. Can you help me Im stuck and at a loss

Find where its leaking and fix it-then do below for the crank and no start issue

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
