Is there a way to repair this without spending a fortune( estimate is $1000
plus). The mechanic says that you must remove the cylinder head to
replace
the gasket which turns out to be a silcone sealent. The car has 150,000
on
it and was using no oil when this leak developed. Currently the car
takes a
quart of oil about every 1500 miles. Do I keep the car and repair the
leak
or do I start shoping for a replacement. Any advice offered will be
appreciated.
Thanks.
