    Looking at maybe buying a 2005 wr250 as a bit of a fixer upper
    is there anything in particular to look out for ?
    is a leaking sprocket gasket a big job to fix?

    There is a seal and an o-ring behind the countershaft collar.

    I''ve never changed it with the motor intact but I guess the difficult part could be pulling the collar out.

    After that just pry out the seal and replace it and the oring. I'd add a new collar too.

    very solid bike. Like with any used bike check the wheel bearings, chain and sprocket, compression and nuts and bolts before riding. The CS seal is EZ. Take the sprocket off, remove the collar, replace the seal and O-ring, reassemble. If the collar has a deep groove in it replace it to. Motors are VERY solid and usually the worse it will need is a new piston and rings. Good bike with OK forks.
