[Mgs] Anti freeze Weep From Head Gasket

[WSpohn4 at aol.com]

Merl:
 
You can get some weeping without there being a real leak, BUT here is how  to 
check the nuts.
 
With a cast iron head, retorque at operating temperature.
 
Do the nuts one at a time. Back them off about 1/3 turn and then bring it  up 
to spec again.
 
If you don't crack them a hair first you will get false values as they  can 
take more torque to break loose than they are actually exerting on the  stud.

I just  completed the rebuild of my MGB. I rebuilt the engine and re-torqued
the  head bolts after approximately 300 miles.  After 2,400 miles, I  just
noticed a weep of anti freeze coming from the head gasket above my  spark
plugs.  I have the following questions:

Is this normal or  should I re-torque the head bolts?  Some where I thought I
read this  was normal on an MG.

If I re-torque do I do it hot or cold?

If I  re-torque do I loosen all the head bolts and start over or do I  
re-torque
from there current torque  values?
