Oil Stabilizers, or something Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I've got a head gasket leak, I think. It's not very bad. I use a quart of oil in about 2 months. Car eats a little radiator fuild too. I'm wanting to do a swap this summer, but I was wondering if an oil stabilizer would help for now. Or one of those restore things. I've always been worried about putting that stuff in my motor. I'm not a real "band-aid" kind of guy. It really bothers me to not fix it right. But I really just don't have the time right now, and I'd like it to be better than it is for the time being. Anyone give me any tips?

Oil stabilizers don't really seal anything... they just increase the oil's viscocity and help it "stick" better to the mechanical parts. Almost exactly like that little advertizement where they have the little gear... on one side regular oil and on the other oil with stabilizer... =D

If the leak is pretty minor, the engine will burn off the minor seaping (coolant and oil). If it gets worse... water will seap through the engine into the oil pan turning it into a milky color. That's BAD. Your's sounds pretty minor... so keep the fluids up and you should last until whenever you can fix it.
