Question Service Bulletin WWP-99: Coolant Conditioner Additive = Head Gasket leak??

Head gasket problem?

See:
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...nt+conditioner

A month ago, my Suby started running really hot. I checked the antifreeze levels and ended up pouring 3/4 gallon into the radiator- a lot.

Recently, I received this Service Bulletin for a conditioner to be added to the coolant system to avoid head gasket leaks.

Since I believe my head gasket has already been leaking, I am concerned that only adding a conditioner is a band aid measure. I do not want to have the problem resurface once I am out of warranty, or have this existing leak reduce the long term reliability. My 2000 Suby has 48k on it, and I have an extended warranty to 100k or 2006. I expect to get 200k+ miles out of the engine.

*** Any experts out there willing to offer some advice/insight on importance of getting the gasket replaced, and ideas on how to negotiate this?

Thank you in advance for you assistance
