A blown head gasket can allow oil to leak. I have seen that on a Ford 460. That said, a blown head gasket can also show up as low compression on a cylinder or two. It depends on what actually happened when the gasket blew. Overheating will cause them to blow also. You really need more info on that engine before spending money on it. You may be better off buying a different used engine.
