Sounds like valve cover gasket ($20 part+ 1 hour labor). Other common sources of oil leak:front main seal,oil sensor, oil pan, and timing cover. believe you have 16V 2L (I think 1987 was last year of 8V). Blown head gasket would be loosing coolant. Car would run rough on cold start as coolant that leaked into cylinder under pressure would burn off. Should see coolant leak from head down block. Low compression also indicative.
