1994 Chevy Cavalier Automatic

I have a 1994 chev cavalier, and it started leaking rad fluid. Took it a mechanic and said it may be a frostbug or cracked engine block.

My question is: is this worth fixing? if not, what price can I charge to get rid of it.

i talked to someone this morning and he spoke to the mechanic that was working on the car. The mechanic said that it is a frostplug and they would have to take the engine apart to fix the problem b/c the leak is between the engine and the tranny.
