Here is the situation. My headgasket leaks a little bit. Not too much, but its noticable. How bad will it be to boost with it like that. In 2 weeks or so, I will be getting an InlinePro headgasket, so I dont wanna spend the $50 on an OEM one now, but if the chances of my motor blowing is there, I am gonna have to. I wont be boosting hardly ever, maybe once or twice a week, but this is my daily driver, so I may have to or I may do it without meaning too. What is the worst that can happen, even if I am VERY careful?

Where and what is it leaking?

When i was at the dyno the last time mine was pissing all over the place and evertime i started the car it would puff a cloud of smoke. I was running 26psi of boost and spray and it held up for 6 pulls and then the rest of the night racing. so just take it easy on it and youll make it 2 weeks. let the car warm all the way up before you take off.

Its leaking oil from the front left corner. It hasnt begun to smoke or anything yet, like I said, the leak isnt that bad. I just dont want the motor to blow before I get a chance to put the rest of the stuff on.

You aren't going to blow your motor with a leaking headgasket unless you run out of coolant from the leaking and things overheat. Keep a close watch on the coolant level and you'll be fine.

What if the coolant reservoir completely fills up w/ coolant and hoses ballon a little
might it be the head gasket or sleeve did a compression test all checks out. If it gets any worse i will do leak down....

I personally wouldn't risk getting too much coolant into the combustion chamber or oil in the coolant....if its only 2 week to replacement just don"t boost at all
