I take it you mean the head gasket. Head gaskets are pretty cheap, but the labor is high. If it is a V 6 or V8 you may have to do only one side. A lot would depend on what engine you have.

Answer Normally you blow a head gasket, when the engine overheats. They can also blow from incorrect installation or poor design. Head gaskets expand and contract according to engine temperature, these cycles may, after a long period of time, cause the gasket to fail. If you're replacing the gasket, check the engine block, and head for warping. Follow proper cleaning and torque specifications during assembly. Read More

If you are using a new gasket, no. Read More

Normally oil leaking from the top of an engine is a sign that you have a leak at a valve cover. The cover may be loose or the gasket may be defective. Tighten the valve cover bolts to no more than 5 lb/ft of torque. If that does not stop the leak, the gasket will need replacing. Read More

Should it been leaking again so soon… Read More

i'm guessing that it's a leaking head gasket. That's what my mechanic told me today about my 1996 Ford Taurus. Long before thinking the worst case (head gasket), start with replacing the thermostat. If the engine coolant / anti-freeze hasn't been changed in a few years, it also should be flushed. This coolant flush should also be sure to clear the heater core also.
