Default Honda Accord 02 rough idling and all kinds of issues

First post on here guys. Just got a new 2014 V6 Accord to replace my 02 Accord SE 4 Cylinder.
I am trying to diagnose the problem I am having with my 02 and sell it myself.
Here are the symptoms:
Rough idle, smells like gas, delayed acceleration, stalling/dying when idling (just a couple times, starts right back up)
Had it looked at and the place I took it to said that one of the cylinders did not have compression and they don’t get that deep in the car. Then someone told me it could be the spark plugs. Obviously there is a huge difference in cost here!
It looks like gas is collecting behind the engine—It looks like it is collecting between the engine and the ait (maybe?). Can't post pics yet apparently
No check engine light...
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Bryan

If it was running overly rich it may have washed down a cylinder and caused the no compression problem.
If you smell and see a fuel leak, find it and fix it.
If there is a dead cylinder then the engine will most likely need to be replaced.
