Been watching that for a couple of weeks now, but these weeks lens purchase has blown my budget right out the water...

It will not be a 2.8 Nikon applied for a 16-85 f/4 this year. I can't see pentax doing a 3.5 to 5.6 in the DA* range as the other DA* are also constant aperture.

The front element would have to be around112mm or somewhere there abouts so would be far to heavy for a short telemzoom,

The 16-85mm will be interesting, I cannot see it being faster than constant f/4 so I think it will more likely be an upgraded 17-70 f/4 with weather resistance added, was the 17-70 SDM?

That's a good price for repair.

There is no need. Unless they are a government department eg MOD or NHS etc..

Oil on blades is not good, once it starts to leak it gets every where inside. Not sure how much if possible a repair would be.
