I looked at a Massey 245 this weekend with only 2000 hours but in very rough shape. It has the Perkins diesel and I noticed a decent quantity of oil on the ground under the front of the engine. I didn't poke around enough to see exactly where it was coming from, except to see that it didn't appear to be leaking from the front shaft bearing.
Where are the common leak points on these engines and how hard (expensive) are they to fix. I'm probably an idiot but I'm thinking about seeing if the owner will let it go for around $3000. I figure it will probably need another $1K to get the PS working again, replace the exhaust, fix the leaks...
