The Oil leak is just the oring where the filter goes and there is one small rust hole on the floor. The rest is surface rust.

Dont forget it

I talked to the guy, told him my background and to tell me like it really is. The oil leak is the oring, the rust is surface rust except for a small bad patch

I would still tend to believe the person that actually went and looked at it in person over the guy that would say anything to sell his junk.

The point being that he felt it had more problems than the guy was saying and he was looking at it while the guy was feeding him bull.

That's EXACTLY what the guy told me when i bought my Cherokee. Replaced those o-rings, still leaks. So that wasn't the ONLY oil leak. But either way, there's no point in arguing. The insured already bought a Jeep, and it's not like he can just "return" it.

Im just trying to get the point across that oil leaks arent something to worry about. Pretty much all of it is a very easy fix. Along with floor boards

WTF? I put "insured" meant to put OP. I understand that. I'm just saying that he already got a Jeep, so there's no point in showing him what else he could've bought. Personally, i think he got a pretty good deal.
