it is not good to run a car with a gasket leak like that. if you don't want to keep the car for long, then yeah, drive it til it dies.

if you like this car and want to keep it around for a little bit, get her fixed.

good luck

I wouldn't even chance running it around for a few months, unless you really don't need the car. If not, then yeah, you might get a couple months out of it before it's completely unusable.

Try to consult some shops near you. It is really bad to run a car that has a leak like that.
