95-850- 225K...Well the worst news...the leak I am having is clearly the head gasket. Under pressure, you can see the anti-freeze exit the gasket on the driver's side, just under the heater hose nipple. At this milage, it does not make sense to invest the $$$ to fix, as it needs new brake calipers and tie-rods. Any 'fixes' that are available? Can I re-tighten the head? I did this in an old Mercedes of mine...but I don't want to do it if it could snap a bolt or create more issues. Are there any additives?
