Rough idle 95 7.3

Looking looking at a 1995 7.3 powerstroke to buy. He’s says that there is a manifold leak so it loses boost. He sends me a video of it’s idle and it idles really rough but it starts right up. I just need some help on figuring out what is causing the rough idle.

Could be many things, unless you scan the truck all we can do is guess on "what might be the problem"
