Message	There is always a danger in running any engine with a leaky head gasket. if the coolant is flowing into the oil galleys this is not a good thing. this in the long run can end up trashing the bearings and im sure you can see where the story goes from there. Also if the coolant is leaking into the bore and just burning still not a good thing. my advice. . just fix the head gasket before further problems are caused.
