It was kinda dried on and really black when I rub it between my fingers. It was all around the area next to and near and below the oil filter near some rubber clip clasp type thing. (I know that description is probably vague but I'm no mechanic)I'm bringing a mechanic to look at it tomorrow so I feel better about that. But is this 'normal' on a car or should this never happen?I did take it for a test drive and it seemed normal and where she parks the car I didnt see any oil spots on the ground.Also, the KBB value for the car in good condition is $3,785, she's asking $5,000 OBO. If I do buy it I wont pay a penny over the KBB.</blockquote>
