[Peugeot-L] Checklist for purchase of a 1994 405GLD

Please advice me on a checklist of things to look out for before purchasing a 1994 405 GLD. I will be going to check out the car this week sometime. I have already seen the car and other than a paint job, what I could see were the following things: The rear RHS brake cylinder needs replacement, as it is leaking and it has become innefective. The mechanic here says that a new set of seals will do the job. Will that do?
The engine is showing signs of piston ring wear. However, there is no blue smoke or black smoke upon hard revving. Oil seems to be leaking from the cam cover area and at the spot where the dipstick enclosure meets the block. Also, there is air coming out of the dipstick enclosure. Sinc I have yet to drive it, I cannot say if the engine is showing enough power or not. (I know this engine, as my 91 309GLD had the same engine).

Please advice me on other things that I should be looking out for before I purchase, since I am in India and getting spares is not easy..

I will go by the list that all you experts suggest, since you are the most reliable source of info about PUGS!!

Thanks,
