Depends on who does it (dealer or trusted garage), but generally you are looking at $800-1200.
If the head gasket is leaking get it repaired quickly, if it is leaking coolant into the crankcase, it can ruin the main bearings in short order and then you will be looking at a major expense up to a new short/longblock.
You also want to find the cause of the headgasket failure e.G. Cooling system, broken headbolt etc.
