I once had a leak that showed itself in the same area. It didn't leak when the engine was warm, but it had a wet spot right on the head gasket in the front corner when the engine was cold. I assumed the head gasket was failing, but since it didn't seen to leak while the engine was running I put off fixing it for a while. While doing a cam change, I found that the leak was actually was caused by an intake manifold gasket that had been crushed at the water passage. This was a 302 with 351 Windsor heads.
