Ok so now you know the leak is on the left side... Is left your left or my left?
What you need to think about is the fan blows the coolant backward. Also gravity plays it's part. Is either of the freeze plugs wet? How far forward is there any coolant? Have you went out at night with a light and layed under it? I have had much better luck looking at night than in the daytime. You should be able to find the ONE DROP coming out of where the leak is.
The heads don't show warpage until they are taken off. The head bolts hold them straight. I always just put the warped ones back on the block and the head bolts tighten them up just the same as if they were straight.
In fact I haven't had a head in a shop in many years. If one has a burnt valve I just install a new one and lap it in. Then I put all new seals on the valves and install it.. Always works just fine.
