Head Gasket!!!!!

There is coolant coming out under the head in two places. No oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil...

These are the options I've been given:
Keep driving it, its fine for a while
New gasket, no machining
New gasket, machine the head
New gasket, machine the head and block
Block Sealant
Re-Torque the head bolts
Sell it as a fixer-upper

Its a 96 with 297k on it.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

I say pull the head, check the the block and head to make sure there within spec, and put a new headgasket on.

While you have the head off maybe get a set of studs and o ring the head that way this issues is taken care of
