Are you sure it is the head gasket? If your car has an oil cooler in the radiator the cooling element can spring a leak and have oil seep into the coolant.

I have done one on a 98 S70 GLT. It is quite a job and will cost you for gaskets, special sealant and a head redo. Also you need to replace the head bolts as they yield when torquing them. New manifold studs on the exhaust side also. It is a good time to change timing belt etc and even redo the PVC system. If you only do the head and nothing else I would extimate $400 to $500 and if you do everything I mentioned you will look at $1K.

Good experience if you like it,

dick
