Go over and recheck the torque on the head bolts. It may not necessarily leak, but heat transfer from the head to the block and exhaust gasses close to the water in the head may cause it to heat up too much. Properly torqued head bolts not only keep the seal but help separate the hot combustion chamber from the coolant and also prevent any gas escaping into the coolant under pressure allowing bubbling of the system and excess heat. Worth a try anyway.
