Old car and all.  I just checked my oil dipstick, looks fine.So the question now is, how frantic should i be about fixing this?  Can it wait until I can afford new H/C/I?  Should I stop driving the car entirely until I fix it?  Or somewhere inbetween...?I'm hoping I can replace the gasket myself to save the $$$.  How do I determine which side to replace?</blockquote>
