91 Toyota Camry. Overheated,still starts & runs but empties radiator thru tail pipe.No water in oil or tranny.It's a 6 cyl,auto,a/c. Is this a guaranteed block or head job ? I need to know if it's worth fixing.

Running well no miss or water in oil then may have intake gasket leaking. Check engine compression that should tell

No need leak down for that block not likely worst case head will need machined
