96 Bronco with 110k miles and oil leak?

[greenbeer]

I'm looking at buying this 96 Bronco with a 351w and 110k miles. The oil is leaking between the rear of the engine and the tranny. I think it's the rear main seal. Does anyone know what would cause this with such low miles? My 86 F-150 has a 351w with 260k miles on it and leaks everywhere but the rear main. I don't get it.

So after getting it home on a test drive, I found four of the oil pan bolts were missing and two were very loose. Hmm...

I have a leaky Bronco also, the oil pans are notorious for rusting out and seeping through the pan, it may not even look all that rusty, but it is. You can change the oil pan gasket fairly easily though, once you find the missing bolts.
