Question

how long does can you hold off to get it fix

Answer 1

haha i have a 97 probe that has a bad head gaskit. Go to a automotive store and get bar's leak put that in the coolant and that should help you out if not fix the leak it s like $40 a bottle but its worth it. Drain some coolant first so u will have room for it. just ask the people at the auto place and they should help you.

Answer 2

get it done , the longer you d**k around waiting the more it,ll cost you

Answer 3

you can wait, you just gonna leak some coolant. depends how bad it is you might loose a lil compression but you sdhould be good for a while.

Answer 4

i totally agree with Hicky. i'd get it fixed asap. you will blow the motor if you wait too long.

good luck

Answer 5

dont wait too long... or you will be up s***s creek

they are not cheep to replace

please dont listen to the guy under me... you need to get it fixed asap.  I work at a shop and i cant tell you how many times i see cars come in with blown head gaskets, then i see them leave in debt.  because its expansive.

i would get it done as soon as you can!!! im serious... i dont wanna give you a time frame cause there really is no way you can guess without seeing it.  and if coolant is mixing with oil, thats not good. so i would get it done quick
