Its not uncommon on those, the head does not crack or anything unless it 
was really overheated or something.  Mainly just leaks oil

 Is changing the head gasket a DIY task, or is the head probably toast?

Always.

Yes.

The gasket is probably $100, a valve job and milling the head a few hundred 
more, assuming the head isn't cracked.

We know it is not a V-6.? for sure, it will need new valve guides, valve grind, 
seals and springs.? You can figure $500 for head work at a good machine shop.? 
Lots of work, leak may have hydrauliced a cylinder and bent a rod.?
