Oh Dear dripping head seal.

After our trip to take the kids to Aberystwyth uni I have discovered a small damp patch under the right hand cylinder head. It appears that coolant is seeping out of the rubber seal. Is this terminal? or will it keep going for a bit? what are the best options?

Drove mine a while with a leaky water jacket seal
As long as you check your level sensor works you wil be ok
Its a head off job to fix it and there are risks with the head studs
Id be doing both sides as they are probably the same age
Id also take the engine out but it can apparently be done in situ
When you put it back use dirco on both sides of the water jacket seal all older heads have pits and so its needed imo
