The only fix is to replace the gaskets. Also check to make sure the head is not warped or cracked.
Replace the head gaskets.
For sure, replace ALL the gaskets involved. When you purchase, ask for a head gasket set and you will get all the gaskets that are used.
How do I change the head gaskets on my 1998 ford explorer?
The actual gaskets are very inexpensive. The labor charges to actually replace them make up most of the charge. In my area this is a $500 to $1,000 job.

The Ford Taurus for the most part has a V6 engine. It has 2 head gaskets. Some very early model Taurus's had 4 cylinder engines which had 1 head gasket.
In short you have to take the head off, replace the gasket/s and replace the head. You best bring it to a pro.
if the miles on the engine aren't too high, then just replace the head gaskets. if the whole engine is tired go ahead and swap out the motor. its a lot cheaper to do the gaskets then to buy a new motor.
