Why is the temp. gauge always in the red and there is oil in the water reservoir

What is your question?

There is oil in the water reservoir. There is no water on the dipstick. Is the cause with the head or head gasket or something else? The car runs well and smooth. The car has not been driven for well over a year. I don't notice any smoke coming from the exhaust.

How long has your 1997 Audi A4 Quattro had this problem?

The car has not been used for at least a year
