I'm with Mr. McNeely.  If you can swell the head gaskets AND they are
only in the seep stage, that's fine.  However, when the water pump
starts leaking, there's a good chance that catastrophic failure is
only a few miles down the road.  I've been stranded twice by being an
optimist on water pump issues.  Now I'm a realist - replace it NOW.
