Actually, your query put the OP on the spot for providing accurate information.
It's a waste of time and bandwidth trying to diagnose a vehicle where the OP doesn't have all the required data.
Whether that stain is oil or soot is absolutely critical to the recommendation on how to proceed. If it's oil, he can just forget about trying to start it. If it's soot, the potential for a fuel issue still exists.
