try some GUNK spray on engine degreaser first. spray it on and clean allthe excess oil off.
drive around as normal for a few days and check it again to see if oil is back.

I know. I was advising that you have a stab at changing the head gasket yourself. Most engine work is really simple, its just a confidence thing!

old 8vs always get oily around head gasket..... your car use a lot of water??
compression test it to be sure.
as for seat belt that will prob be a fooked tensioner - replace everything on belt as its pretty damn important. dont wanna be flying through windscreen if u crash do u??
and head gasket on 8v is piece of piss
looking at £250 garage bill though....

clean it up and find the exact location of the leak - had one o nmien for a while - replaced the rocker cover gasket myself - piss easy 5 mins job, Ive blown head gasket about 6 weeks ago so had thta reapired pro - but still go the leak - nehow its turned out to be the seal on the distributor cap which is slowly leaking oil down onto the head block - and its costing about 27p to repair
