Discovery 2004 - Possible Head Gasket Issue

[brb06488]

Looking for some help. My Discovery is leaking antifreeze down the side of the motor by the head. Was told it may be a head gasket issue. I have been running it like this for almost 30K. It runs great, just have to add a little fluid once every three months or so.

Is this something I should be concerned with. If it is the head is it worth fixing it?

Thanks

are you sure it is the head gasket and not the anti Icier on the intake?

If it is leaking down the side of one of the head gaskets and someday the gasket will blow out, toasting your engine.
Bite the bullet and get them changed out before any real damage is done.
How mechanical are you, will you do this yourself or have a shop do it? Don't go to the dealer for this, they will charge an extra $1000 over most small shops.
