Engine Mechanical problem
1995 Nissan Altima 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi guys,
My son was given a car by his uncle. It hasn't been driven for a year and it had stopped working at that time. It was thought that the problem was the fuel pump so we changed that and the fuel filter out today and it still will not start.
On further inspection, it was found to have no spark and oil was found in the spark plug cylinder which is furthest from the distributor. I did notice a small crack in the distributor cap, could this be the problem? or could it be the ignition coil?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Doug
