1999 Mercury Sable Automatic 150000 miles

When you start the car I hear a hissing or sucking noise coming from the throttle body area. Then after less than a minute, it spits sputters and dies. I checked the vacuum hoses that I could see. Couldn't find anything. Also, the oil pan has oil all over it. What on earth is wrong with it?
