Head gasket question:

Hi All,
Well, my head gasket needs to get replaced. It is leaking a little bit of oil and coolant. I usually need to top off the coolant every other month or so (check radiator light comes on) and this has been going on for about a year.
First question: is there any chance that something like Bars leak might fix it or is that just some wishful thinking? I have heard it recommended as a way to prolong the gasket life (after the fact:) and was hopeful that it might have a chance of patching it up.
Second question: How imperative is it that I fix it? It has been something like a year already, but I always have this fear that I am going to blow it and that will just be a whole lot more hassle. It is a lot of money (quoted $900) to fix that I really do not have, so I am stalling as long as possible. Any guidance here?
Thanks a bunch!
