My 74 stock Luv has been sitting for about 3 months.Went to start it the other day and coolant was leaking from head neat the block mating surface. It has been cold here about -15 f, I have not retorqued the head gasket since I did the head. Should I be freaking out or is it head gasket time?

Re torque but my guess is that won't help much, might be time for a new gasket

I don't know....I have seen aluminum heads on 350 chevys do this in Northern MN and they resealed themselves. When I put the new one in I had the head resurfaced and did a valve job.
