I would be willing to guess if you are looking at headgaskets, that it is leaking, however if it is not leaking then I would say leave it until you have the money to deal with other stuff if other issues turn up

If your doing one may as well do both...

Exactly. Doing only one HG is like doing 4/5 of the job, considering that the only thing left to remove is the right valve cover and the right head bolts.

However, only do one, and I will still say your doing the job half-assed.

Don't forget, you cannot reuse head bolts!!
