Default Gasket sealer

I'm in need of a quick fix and looking for a bit of help. I would like to replace the head gasket on my 2002 Discovery II but do not have the money for someone else to do it or time to do it myself. Not currently employed, I need the truck NOW for job hunting. I do not believe the gaskets are in bad shape but am currently unable to pass smog inspections.
Any recommendations about using a sealer and if so, which one? I know this is a temporary fix and will make the repairs soon.
Thanks for the help.

How many miles on the engine, where is the leak and how bad is it?
One of the best sealers on the market is from BG, it is their coolant stop leak and has no ceramic, aluminum, brass or any other alloy in it and won't plug up your heater or radiator.
With money being real tight for me, I had a good friend suggest this product to me and 4 months later, I am leak free.
By the way, the difference with this over the other sealers, is it is made up from ground up fiber from some plant, it doesn't ball up and float around in your system like most and only costs about $8.

I have had good luck with Gunk Block Seal Liquid same deal as Mike's no metal bits or fibers. Just follow the instructions and works great. Have used it before and it worked great, lasted many months and no sludge when I finally opened up the cooling system.
