There's only one way to deal with a leaking/blown head gasket.

FIX IT.

Snake oil cures will not solve the problem. You run the risk of REALLY blowing the thing all to hell in rush hour - 100 degree heat - etc.

If it blows bad enough, you could destroy the bottom end of the motor.

Crankshaft bearings don't last long in anti-freeze.
