Re: please help possible head gaskets leak

If you blew a head gasket it would be running real bad. If the head gasket is only leaking to the exterior of the engine, try some stop leak. Be aware that stop leak cak cause overheating if you use too much. Personally I think more likely you have a leaking heater hose. Trace it down, you will need to fix it, stop leak will not fix a bad hose. Good Luck.

Sounds like a blown head gasket. Unbolt the head, scrape off the old gasket, install a new gasket, bolt head to specs. .... If you are not sure how to do these things, bring it to a garage.
I would NOT recommend Stop Leak to fix the problem. It will temporary at best, and at worst, will cause more problems than you already have.
