It will get worse, and rather quickly, and all the time it's getting worse, the antifreeze is getting into the oil and attacking the main and rod bearings, and rusting stuff, and diluting the oil (AND sitting on the bottom of the pan at the pickup, where it pretends to be oil and pretends to lube the whole motor).

I would not ride it to the end if I wasn't planning on a complete rebuild instead of just head gaskets.

I just spent $412 on head work, and $477 on parts so far (head gasket set, ALL the hoses, ALL the belts, ALL the belt idlers and tensioners, water pump (and helicoils to fix the two stripped threads in the back half minibolt holes), crossover pipe gasket, rtv, 2gal antifreeze, case of Castrol) and I still need thermostat, oil filter, and pan plug copper washer, and probably an ohtwo sensor, since my CEL is about to burn out from water/oil fouling of the whole exhaust. AND about 8 hours to put it back together and time it. Including at least 1/2hr of cursing, holding moshed fingers/knuckles/elbows. I save a net of at least 15min by taking off the hood, and avoiding head dings on the latch...
