just needs a new gasket by the sounds of things mate. belt off, pump off new gasket, seal, and belt and its done 
in the future if you buy an engine dont tke peoples word for it being a tight none leaking engine. strip it and give the bugger a full rebuild as it will save you money in the future

Yeah mate sounds like the oil pump, mine was doing the same thing because the bolts were not fully tightened 
Timing belt, bottom pulley and pump off to replace the gasket.
I would personally change the front crankshaft seal at the same time and maybe the timing belt kit.
