For my general education as I shop around I'm wondering how serious coolant leaks from head gaskets in water cooled Vanagons should be considered. If a vehicle is running okay and typically only requires the addition of a small amount of coolant every so often is this something that requires removal/reassembly of the heads with new gaskets? Does this typically precede total head gasket failure?
