Head Gasket Leak

My 97 9000 has a head gasket leak around the front right corner (which looking from the front of the car into engine compartment). A couple questions: 1. Is this sort of leak something that I'm likely to be able to live with for substantial time? Or does this often get worse fast? 2. I also have a Viggen that solved the problem with a retorque. Is that a likely route to help my 9000 issue, and / or is that a dangerous idea (my local shop doesn't want to do it, for fear of getting it wrong and damaging). I know the cost is high to replace that gasket so I'm trying to find a solution to keep this car I love.
