What is the
Make?
Model?
Year?
Engine?
Any Add ons-Turbo, etc?

The main reason for the gasket to be leaking to start with should be the first answer your looking for. Usually, they blow due to. Improper maintenance. The engine ran too hot. The engine has excessive miles on it.

If it's a standard 4 cyl motor with an aluminum head, run from it. If it's a solid engine, chances are it's repairable.

Gasket sets range from 10-30 bucks. I do most of my own at the craft shop. Their fixed rate is $200 for an inline engine, and $300 for any V type engine. Keep in mind, if it's a V type, you will want to repalce both at the same time.

Hope this helps, and good luck.
