luckily the engine gasket should only cost bout 12 bucks. it really isn't hard to change and you could probably do it by yourself with basic socket wrenchs and no special tools. Buy a do it yourself type book for your car and it will explain step by step how to change it, the cost that a company would charge is all for labor etc and they will hit you high $$$. Basically you just gotta take the top half of your engine off and replace the 12 dollar seal. I did one on my car when i was 18 and i know nothing about cars. not really a patch to fix it because your engine gets so hot it would melt any type of patch etc. Save the money, you can do it. If you are still to scared to change it yourself buy the gasket and search graigslist in your area for a good cheap mechanic, many on there have been laid off and looking for anything to get money, throw in a few lies and say you got someone that will do it a little cheaper :) they will competeHow to stop leak from engine head gasket?
There are some goops that you can get from car accessory shops that will do the job for a time but really for the price of a gasket set and 2 hrs of weekend morning to change it it's not worth trashing your engine any further by using the stuff.How to stop leak from engine head gasket?
