I have a 1994 Discovery that doesn't want to start. Come to find out the gas has flooded the oil pan. What do I need to check first? Any info whould be greatly appreciated.

Check the fuel rail pressure after it has sat for a few hours, if down low or zero you have a leaking injector like posted above. You have hard starting with many restart tries? This will not only cause flooding with fuel in the oil but also remove oil coating the cylinder walls. The fun begins to find the leaking injector if you have one or try an injector cleaner hooked to the fuel rail with the fuel pump fuse removed. This way you'll run off the pressurized can of cleaner only.
Better yet pull the injectors and have them cleaned, tested and balance flow checked.

In some cases, it's cheaper to buy new injectors. My local injector cleaning shop, they want nearly as much to clean as it costs to buy new injectors.

Search for sources of alternate injectors. Any injector that provides 19 pph and 16 ohms resistance will work, they don't have to be magic Land Rover injectors.
