First run, not walk, away from that AC7040!!!! It is over priced for the first problem. You can buy them all day around here for $4000-5000. That is with no problems. One with even a "small" problem will not bring much over scrap price.
Second that leak could just be a seal on the pumps but even that is a high labor fix. The much more common problem problem is it could be the seal and shaft on the transmission out put. These requires the tractor to be split twice: at the flywheel and then at the back of the transmission. You will very rarely find a good used shaft. They seem to all be undercut by the seal. The last new one I bought five years ago was $700 then. I bet that it would be a thousand now. Now there will be many on here flame me for telling the truth about AC 7000 series. That series helped put AC out of business. They had problems from the get go. Engines needing overhauled at 3000-4000 hours and transmission problems. Plus to top it all of the worst cab entry ever made. I would look around for a good IH 1066 or some other tractor. I have seen several IH 1066 in that price range. You might have to replace the torque but that is $1500-2000 repair and you will then get years of use. I am not even a IH guy. LOL You can also find 1070 Cases in the $9-10 thousand range too.

I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
