Its my DD with some spirited driving, I'm to the point where I just want to rid of my car, changing the gaskets was a hastle last time I did em.

I don't know your skill level so no offence, but did you do it right? The gasket shouldn't fail if installed according to the manufactiurer's installation instructions i.e. the gasket should last quite a while. Leak sealer could work but the best fix is to determine the cause and repair/replace as required.
