I just spent 2 hours going over all the old posts about head gasket oil leaks and still have a few questions. I have narrowed the leak down to the right rear of the block, I use a quart of oil every 700 miles, the coolant is clean, I can live with the leak, do I need to get it fixed?, I love the car and plan on keeping it for another year or so. I have a 124000 miles on it. Am I doing damage by driving it and not fixing the leak?
