I put some UV dye into my 240D and took it to my trusted mechanic to see where oil was leaking from. It turns out oil is leaking from the head gasket. Should I go ahead and replace it? I do notice that my coolant is a little low every now and then - no visible leaks. I've never seen coolant in the oil or vice versa. I know there are further tests to determine whether your head gasket is bad BUT, based on the fact that the UV dye indicated it's leaking, should I go ahead and replace it?

Thanks,

Scott
