Default help 2 leaks

Hi, I need some advice... I have a 04 Disco SE.
The last 2 oil changes the techs kept asking me about my coolant level and if I noticed any leaking. I have never noticed anything leaking on the ground but once in a while I could hear a little bubbling noise coming from the right side of the hood.
And my coolant has been emptying quickly. I have 72k on the truck.
Now all of a sudden my heat went out on a long drive and then poof came back on. I stopped and had the coolant level checked bc my dad said that might be a sign of a problem with my truck overheating. Sure enough my coolant was empty.
Long story short... I had a pressure test done and the tech at a non landrover dealership said i had a front leak and back leak. He said its pricy to fix and he would start with replacing the radiator (why I wondered?) the hoses and head gasket. Does this sound about right?
Could it be something else. The heat is working again. Can I drive it, I drove it home 70miles already, it has never overheaded!
I no longer have a warrenty, should i just get rid of it? Is this the start to many problems??

Thanks for your help!!

Default Disco2 leak

Mike,
I did post this on Disco2 as well. I appreciate offering to talk me through it over the phone but I really do not feel comfortable posting my number on this website. I hope you can understand. Is there some other way you can think of for me to get a hold of you without posting my info up?
I really would appreciate it.

I have read many of your postings tonight and I welcome your professional opinion.

Thanks Much!!
AJS
