Howdy from Tennessee, I'm Chris aka Moose. Who am I helping today? I'm glad you've come here to get help. I will do my best to get the answer you are looking for. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. I try to be online at 1-5 pm and 10 pm-5 am every day. Yes, you can purchase a vehicle with an oil leak. You will want to look it over yourself or have a shop do so. This will tell you which oil is leaking, and from where, and why its occurring. then you can come up with a cost to repair to see if the vehicle value is where it needs to be. If the vehicle cost is high, then deduct the repair cost. If the vehicle cost is low then you can assume the cost to repair is already been taken out. Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose
