98 Camaro Wont Start

98 3.8 Manual 178k

Hey Guys! My car has been having issues starting the last month or two. At times it starts ok while at other times it takes me several tries. If it doesn't initially start, it can take anywhere between 2 and 40 attempts. I hear no clicking or other sounds when it doesn't start although my radio and headlights will work fine. I replaced the starter a few weeks ago and it started fine after that until today after work :-(. It took me 30 tries and then all of a sudden it started out of nowhere. Then later on it took about 10 tries.

Alternator
Ignition Control Module

Spark Plugs
Wires

I'm not sure what else I can try, has anyone had something similar happen to them? I appreciate the feedback!

P.S. I have an oil leak and my old starter had a fair amount of oil on it. Not sure if that would matter or not though.
