The engine and transmission has to be removed together as a complete assembly to access the head gasket. This is done by lowering the engine and transmission from under the vehicle. You will have to lift the van up on a hoist to accomplish this. To add to the previous reply, it is possible to change the head gasket without removing the engine & gearbox (I know because I've done it). However you do need to undo the two main engine mounts and lower the engine slightly using a trolley jack under the sump. This is to enable you to get to the inlet manifold bolts that are hidden under the fixed section of floor between the front seats. Before I started the job I got the car up off the ground (rear wheels on ramps, front end on axle stands), which made it easier and a better height for working.
Most likely your head gasket is leaking.
The Price of a head gasket change is anywhere between 800 to 3000 dollars pending on the shop you go to it costed me 900 to do the head gasket on my van hope that helps in any way
You need to remove the head cylinder and replace the gasket. You will need at least to get a good manual if you want to do it on your own.
Remove the cylinder head from your VW engine. Remove the head gasket and clean the head gasket surface. Put the new head gasket on and return the cylinder head to its original position.
