$215 is a bit steep Canon sells the printhead for $123.43 before dealer discount is applied.
Also Canon knows about the problems with leaking ink cartriges, they have published service documents about this problem:
#QH-12E-64099 1/9/95 titled BJC-600/600e Ink on Printhead.
I would bet that if you called Canon they would repair or replace your printer at no charge.
