Coolant Leak, Sealant Suggestion?

Hi All,
1990 SPG
I recently noticed a minor coolant leak, lost about a pint from a
topped up system. This has happened twice now. It seems to leak after the car is parked, never more than about a pint. Never been overheated, cooling system operating normaly. M-B coolant, fresh last summer.
I pulled/pried/twisted all the hoses and connections, all seem okay.
Today I put the car on a lift to check from underneath. Still no obvious
source. But, the area near the headgasket seam, under the distributor seemed to be wet. I'll need to thoroughly clean that area to be sure if that is the source. I have no oil/water or water/oil issues, so, I don't think the headgasket is "Blown". I'll check the plugs for "steam cleaning" this weekend.
Can anyone recommend a sealant that won't cause galvanic problems with gasket/head?
Is re-torqueing the head a viable solution?
TIA
Mike
