2001 camry ce, 217,000 mi., automatic
head gasket is leaking enough to have thick white cloud in first and second gear.
Is it too late to attempt the sealant fix using "liquid steel" that Scotty showed in his video?
Winter storm is blowing thru today and conditions will be too nasty to do the work outside (bummer!)
Thanks. {black}:idontknow:

Yes, it's too late.

That stuff is hit or miss, and definitely wouldn't work in your case because the failure is between a coolant passage and where the combustion chamber is.

As @nta98 says the only way to fix this is head gasket replacement. (You'd also want to have the head checked out a a machine shop for cracks and warpage.) Try to find a friend or relative who will let you work inside their garage!
