Almost time to work on my new acquisition. Is it safe to drive this baby home where I can replace the headgasket?? Coolant and oil have not mixed nor has it overheated.Will I possibly do more damage if I drive it maybe three miles or less..TIA!!

If the gasket is just leaking between 2&3, and not putting coolant/oil into each other or the combustion chamber, it won't do much--just burn poorly. But that'll be cleaned up when you do the head gasket anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
