As the other folks have said, be sure it is really the head gasket and not the valve cover gasket, turbo oil return line, etc.
If it turns out to actually be the head gasket, it's not a particularly difficult DIY job. Assuming that the block isn't badly pitted, which seems unlikely if you're not losing coolant, etc., than you'll probably only need to get the head resurfaced at a machine shop. It's been a while since I had to do one, but I don't recall it being expensive. New valve seals and oil rails are probably a good idea, but they're not expensive, nor is the new head gasket and new bolts.
