Default 98 GS300 Cranks but wont start?

160k miles. cranks but will not start. is there a vacuum line I can spray starting fluid into? How do I get to a wire to check spark?

I hear the buzzing noise coming from top of the engine when ignition is on, not sure if it did that before. It cranks and faintly sounds like its gonna catch. Possible slight oil drips on the alternator. Could the vehicle still start if the alternator is bad? New battery 2 weeks ago. Anything I should try. Smell gas after I crank for a few seconds.

Is the security light blinking or on with the key in the ignition and turned to the on position?
