&^%$ Head Gasket Failure!?!?! - HELP! 700 1990

1990 760T - 192,000 miles

Uh-Oh...noticed moisture on the block yesterday (cold engine)just below head/block area underneath intake manifold. Pretty sure it's the head gasket....never been replaced.....no white smoke yet and no distinguishable loss of coolant......just the moisture on the cold block.

QUESTIONS:

A) How long can I drive the brick without serious adverse effects/damage?

B) What is an "acceptable" U.S. cost (east coast) to replace?

C) Is this a resonable DIY for a mid-level shade tree mechanic?

Thanks in advance for your input.
