so i replaced my head gasket about 2k miles ago. The coolant light light up and surely my coolant was low. not very low, about less than 2QT or about 1 liter.
anyway i checked hoses and every possible culprit, and found out my new head gasket is seeping out coolant all the way around the block. there is white water marks around the whole block.
i did not resurface the head after i replaced the gasket. also i replaced the gasket as per bentley instructions. i used peak pre diluted coolant, not the 50/50. the car has not over heated and it has not lost a substantial amount of coolant either.
I've heard you must re-torque the head bolts after so many miles. I'm mainly looking for input. idk what I'm doing wrong and any assistance would help.
the car is a 325i m20b25
