Unhappy Blown Head Gasket?

Well i thought i fixed my oil leaks and my head gasket goes.... Its leaking oil on the passenger side towards the front corner. I checked my oil and its low(just topped it off a day or two ago) and checked radiator like i've been told to do and saw a white almost sour cream looking thing in the radiator. Basically what I'm asking is when should I get it changed? Being that it's thanks giving and I work all weekend, I doubt I'm gonna be able to get it done til monday, will it be ok til then?

No, if the headgasket is blown do not drive it unless you want to damage your engine more.

Get your cooling system pressure tested. Look at your spark plugs. Do a compression test.

No trolling. Honest injun. Shop rates will rape people for a head gasket on a b series. Book pays 12 hours. I have the head off in 1.5. The whole job takes me about 4 hours.
