Leaking head gasket

[HKSV6SLE]

i just found out that my head gasket is leaking. It's not leaking bad but it is leaking. So do you guys think it's worth fixing or not? i probably won't have this car more than another year at the most, then im probably gonna trade it in. IF it's worth fixing , anyone have any ideas how much a new gasket is gona cost? And also how many people have had this problem with the head gasket?

Gasket = Cheap
Labor = Expensive

On my old car, which had a 3S-GELC, it was about 40 quid for the gasket then about 800 for the labor. I would get it fixed. I image these sorts of things start small then get worse with time. Don't want to accidentally warp the head or something . Good luck on getting it fixed.

quid? that a currency from the Uk right? yea i had a feeling that the gasket itself would be cheap but fixing it would be a bitch...

i had a gasket leak as well. where is the leakage? mine was under the oil cap, small compartment that just made more and more deposits over time. fortuneatly for me, the car was still under waranty at thge time
