Default Thinking about buying a B6 S4

So I got offered this 2006 B6 S4 today for $5,000. It is black with Nogaro Blue interior and aftermarket Avant Garde wheels. I am torn on the decision as the guy says it has a "small oil leak" which he believes is from the oil pan itself. Now I understand the timing belt is notorious for going bad on most audi's these days, or the motor itself rather, given the B6 came with the metal chain instead of a belt. Now to me hearing there was an oil leak immediately threw me a curve ball because I have never dealt with an Audi that has an oil leak, so I found it quite strange. Anyway this is a Craigslist car and it seems to be in good shape but who knows. Any thoughts on this matter from anyone? I'm not very educated as far as S4's go.

I have a 2004 B6 S4 with 238k miles. I have had multiple issues with oil leaks/oil use. Ive replaced the oil pan seal and valve cover gaskets. Most recently I had to replace the crankshaft seal. I love the car, but the oil issues seem to be a real issue.
