Welcome !
One thing you dont mention is if there is bubbling in the radiator. When the motor is warm & running but not too hot, carefully take the radiator cap off. You may get an initial pressure release but then it should not show any bubbling in the coolant.
Some also check to see if there is pressure in the system the day after the car has been run.
Please report back.
I would not be racing off to change a head gasket just yet.
Some times if the motor sits for a year or 2 very minor leaks can go away.
