This car has been KICKING me while I'm down for about a month, now.  It died one day, had a short circuit that almost burned it down the next...over the weekend while diagnosing a ticking noise that turned out to be loose exhaust manifolds I find what's shown in the photo below.  I've had the car about a year and it's been great....now all this foolishness...

So, while it IS probably the "best" kind of head gasket leak, I'm not crazy about it.  Is there a step by step video or photo guide that shows the process?  Would you even attempt any of those sealers in a can?  I haven't had the "opportunity" to fix a head gasket since I owned a set of wrenches.
