So I was getting an oil change done today and my mechanic pulls me in the shop to show me that the head gasket is leaking....so I know this is a BIG job and seeing as my car has just over 200K on it so don't know if it's worth fixing. Is there anything I can use to put in the coolant to help prevent leaking for now? How expensive is a job like this? I took a couple pics will upload soon.

Have alwaysss changed oil every 15,000km and have done complete coolant flushes every 3 years...

Just checked my records and I did a coolant flush in March along with oil change and brake service...They didn't mention anything then. So could this be a recent thing?
