I've been searching online for a DeLorean, and I asked an owner for some pictures of the frame. Well, since he doesn't have access to a lift it looks like he randomly placed his camera underneath of the car and took some shots... most the shots weren't of the frame... but I noticed what could be a leak... or maybe just some dirt? Maybe those of you that are more familiar with the underside of the car could tell me if this is something to worry about. Regardless, looks like I might have to go see this one in person if I'm going to get any worthy information.

It's very common to have a small oil leak on the rear end of the valve cover. That is where two engine castings meet and it requires a very good sealant on the valve cover gasket to stop it.

I wouldn't buy any car that I couldn't first inspect the underside of in person. It's worth the time to visit and inspect in person.
