Coolant leak near back of engine? Hmm...

So I drove up to my folk's for Christmas, about 100 miles, and I parked my car in their driveway. The temperature dropped down to about mid 20s that night. The next day I spotted some coolant under my car. I followed the trail of drips to the origin of the coolant leak just under the intake manifold somewhere, the drip drips down the engine. Drove the car back home and saw a bit of a drip when I returned home. Total amount of coolant loss was negligible. I just took the car to my indy and he was surprised to see coolant on that part of the engine. He said he'd re-torque the head and thought that would take car of it. What do you think?

Also, my car has shown no signs of a cracked head----oil in coolant, coolant in oil, coolant smell in cabin, overheating.......
