As you are asking the question, I would guess that you know that a leaking oil tank can / will open up world of issues; Phase 1, Phase 2, remediation, retesting and who knows what else.You could purchase it subject to all remediation done by the seller and certification of cleanup by the fire dept / county / state (who ever has juristriction on this).Alternativley, you could be willing to invest in the testing / consultants necessary to scope the problem (with no guarrantee that they are 100% correct) and then make offer taking the results into account.Until you know the scope of the problem, you can not know the cost to fix it  so unless you have done this before and have deep pockets, making any offer is very high risk.Oren
