Audi A6 For Sale (Needs Repair)

I have 1995 Audi A6 2.0l petrol saloon (the facelifted Audi 100) for sale
The car is in generally reasonable condition with about 110k miles.
BUT
A while ago, the Oil pressure light came on. It seems to come on only once the engine has warmed up. I have changed the pressure switch and checked that the switch really is indicating low pressure (ie, not a dashboard fault). On further investigation, I have found a small patch of stain at the cylinder head gasket and a small spot of 'mayonaise' on the oil filler cap.
I assume that the head gasket needs to be replaced and that this is the cause of the oil pressure warning but cannot guarantee this.
I have not attempted to measure the oil pressure but think that the car could probably be safely driven a short distance (I guess that the oil pressure has not completely failed).

If I take it to the garage, they will charge me a few hundred pounds to repair it. However, it would make a good cheap car if you can fix it yourself.

Clearly, the car is being sold for repair (or spares) and has no guarantee whatsoever. It must be collected - ie I will not deliver

Taxed till end of this month, MOT till end of December.

Any Offers before I eBay it (I don't expect huge offers).

I live in Helensburgh, West of Glasgow (Scotland).
