Oil leak and getting hot

So I bought this 1996 gp25 with 6XXXhr I took to local cat forklift dealer. They said it needs motor! I brought back to shop and it's leaking oil from head gasket. It gets warmer than normal almost in red would guess it to hot. I ask my mechanic friend that works for cat and he said it he thinks it has a peagout motor and they are junk. Dealer said it has low compression on all cylinders. Any have issue similar or know about this? I think it needs head gasket and maybe head work. The pulley on cooling fan lock up and through belt off and was off when we got it. I think fan belt came off and it got hot and and needs head gasket and maybe some tuning up and not a $4000.00 motor.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
