Disappearing coolant in a 2000 Aero!

2000 Aero 5sp with 89k; mostly long (100+ mi) drives in Georgia. Coolant level goes from normal to SID alarm in about 500 miles. No foaming oil or oily coolant, but if I look hard enough I'll see an occasional drop of coolant under the car. Occasional hint of coolant smell through the ventilation. Head seems to be "weeping" ever so slightly just to the right of the exhaust manifold. Head has never been retorqued. Should I go directly for the head gasket replacement? I have never done this kind of work on a 9-5, but I have plenty of head removal and engine rebuild experience on classic 900's.
Thanks in advance for any further insight!
