Head gasket?

Last Spring, I bought a '92 Cabriolet for my son, who lives 150 miles away. The car has about 90,000 miles on it. It has a four-cylinder engine; I think it's a 1.8 liter. I don't see the car often, but the last time he was here, I noticed a small amount of antifreeze under the second spark plug from the left. It looks like a very slow leak at the head gasket. Long term, I know I need to have it replaced. Short term, am I doing damage by letting him drive it? We live in Virginia, U.S.A., and I'm wondering how much this would cost to have it replaced (along with the timing belts which still look pretty good).
