I'm looking at purchasing a '95 mustang 6cyl. The car runs good and has no known problems. The only thing I noticed was a small oil patch on the ground where it was parked. I haven't actually asked the owner about it as I'm going back out there tomorrow. For all I know it could be from a different car.

Any thoughts?

It's priced under 2k.

 

Ask the owner and see if they can tell you anything about it. Get down there and look around the engine yourself and see if you can tell where a leak may be coming from. For a car under $2000 I guess you can't complain about a leak but at least you'll know what you're getting yourself into.
