I have a persistent drip between my RH cylinder head and block on my '86 2.1
WBX. Tears of Glycol...

Compression is good and no signs of head gasket failure ... Yet.

I almost hate to ask, but what about a 'stop Leak' product or the like? Or
is this sort of fix nix verboten?

If the coolant gasket is leaking, is it inevitable that the cylinder seals
will follow? Would a pre-emptive replacement of the head gaskets, coolant
and compression stave off further problems?

Advice welcome!

Dave
