It could be something as easy and simple as a valve cover gasket, or the intake manifold gasket, or maybe even the plugs on the back of the block, or maybe even something worse. For some reason people jump to the conclusion that it's the rear seal. Sometimes it is, but more often it's not. Since it's not your car yet, you might want to have it resolved before you buy the car.
