Question on Oil Leak Diagnosis

I am looking to buy a mini ONE 2007 and the person who did a look over the car has said that there is Oil leak in engine and power steering pump area, should I steer well clear of this car or do you think it is worth a look into. I am a student so I cant afford to own a car that has to be fixed up a lot so I would really really appreciate your advice. is this the kind of thing I can fix up painlessly or is it going to cost me a lot of money because I cant afford that. a quick reply would be more than appreciated as it goes up for sale soon and I need to make a decision, what do you think, as I said any advice is really more than appreciated!!??

It depends on if it is simple gasket or something more complicated to repair. Some leaks are fixed easily. I would get an exact location of the leak and repair estimate.
