Greenish gray at the front wheel? Front dif and axle lube . Gear oil and water.
If the engine has been "started" and now failed, pulling injectors to purge fluid is stupid. Damage done. Sitting 5 days should have allowed any crank case oil to drain back to the sump, but you never know.
If no damage, then suspect fuel delivery.
We need to get clearer on our terms.
"When I try to restart, the engine tries to start but only makes one short attempt to fire up but stops abruplty and doesn't turn over."
Low battery?, bent and broken engine internals? Fuel delivery won't keep the engine from cranking..
One cylinder still hydro-locked? It's a gonner if this is the case. 18:1 compression does not like liquid oil added to the combustion chamber volume.
The white smoke turning to grey is a good sign. The abrupt stop and failure to turn over is a VERY BAD sign.....Unless it's the battery! ;-)
