I usually only see clear, blue, or black in stores but an amazon search shows you can get pretty much any of them online, I haven't used it myself but I suspect it is the permatex rtv for gear oil (appears to be green).
The radiator stop leak could be it though too. Some of the pictures about nightmares of stop leak make it look fairly similar. I can't find anything where someone was dumb enough to put it in the engine oil though.
I would say that for $1,600 this would be a good Jeep to buy. Take into account that your shipping cost for parts will be way more expensive than what I would pay here in the US, but those are all easy/inexpensive fixes.
The sensors are very easy to change yourself, they are both easy to get to. The temp sensor is on the front, heres one.
The oil pressure sensor is a common issue. Get one from a dealer if possible, the aftermarket ones tend to die fairly quickly, here's an OEM one from Jeep.
For the front axles I would first try changing out the differential fluid. You'll need about 2 quarts of 80w 90 gear oil. You don't have to buy a gasket, as you can use RTV gasket maker as your gasket. I would suggest doing both differentials so get double of both gear oil and gasket maker. Inspect the gears inside the differentials while you have the covers off and spray them out with brakleen to clean them up a bit before adding the new oil.
The exhaust for free is great. Have someone like a trusted mechanic weld it on for you.
The jeep seems like a great buy, especially for $1600. I would buy this asap. Is 350.000 ISK a lot of money in Iceland? $1600 in the US is less than 1 month's salary.
If gas is very expensive in Iceland, which I'm sure it is, then think about that. I don't know what kilometers are, I use miles per gallon and my XJ gets about 15-17 miles per gallon of gas. Something to think about.
