chevy silverado

My truck leaks antifreeze internally, and i need to find which cylinder it’s leaking into. How can I find out?

My truck is a 1988 chevy silverado, great truck, has over 200k miles on it, so she's kinda gettin tired. The engine needs rebuilt or replaced no doubt, but I'm just gunna keep drivin it till she drops. The thing is, it leaks antifreeze very badly internally, and I'm 95% sure it's a head gasket or cracked block; my question is how do I find the cylinder that the antifreeze is leaking into? I bought some Bars Leaks Sealer, I have to drain the coolant and mix this stuff with water and run it thru the system, and do this continuously for a while, but they suggest finding the cylinder that it's leaking in, and disconnect the sparkplug, so that cylinder won't fire, so it will let the leak sealer work in the crack better, but that's the problem, how do I find which cylinder it's leaking into? Any input is greatly appreciated!!Thanks!!

Are truck prices going to go down if gas prices continue to go up? Should I wait to buy?

I would like to buy a new Chevy Silverado. I can get it at invoice
and 0% financing for 5 years. I see so many trucks on the dealer lots right now. If gas prices continue to go up, they might have to have a fire sale. What do you think?
