CEL 4 flashes '93 + coolant leak near headgasket

My 195K '93 9K recently had a CEL illumination. It flashes 4X. I find on the BB this is either a knock sensor or a coolant temp sensor. Further, I read there could be 2 coolant sensors, one on the head under the intake between 2 - 3 cylinders and another possibly on the top of the thermostat housing........
Can anyone provide additional insight?
One more item, I am constantly having coolant on the front of the block on the headgasket landing above the bell housing inboard and adjacent of the exhaust manifold. Is this a headgasket waiting to go or a leaky hose? I have tightened the hoses as much as I can. I am not losing any antifreeze, I may add a qt every 10K. Runs well buy misses and surges when pushed above 4K (occurs very rarely)
Thank you for your time and most of all, Happy Holidays!
