To keep on driving a car with a failed or failing headgasket is a very bad idea. It
can make the repair much much much more expensive by scarring the block which will require redecking the block or more extensive redecking. It may also warp your head as well. The worst thing that can happen is that your gasket will start leaking oil or water into another cylinder and hydro lock it (on a diesel this doesn't take much).
I personally would never go back to a garage that gave this advice.
