Engine concerns with 1993 245 automatic wagon I'm looking at buying 200 1993

Hello,

I'm looking at buying a 245 automatic with 155k miles. I was looking at the engine and I saw there was a duct hose which was disconnected from the engine. What is the hose for and why might one disconnect it from the engine?

Also, I saw what looked like oil which had leaked from an area just below the timing belt cover on the exhaust manifold side. Is that a bad area to be leaking oil? What manifolds or seals might need to be replaced to stop a leak in that area?

Finally, are there any areas which are particularly prone to rust or should be concerning if there is rust on the under carriage? If the car has spent its entire life in Atlanta, GA is rust probably not an issue?

Thanks for your help and assistance.
