Unhappy Leaking head, uhhh

So, since I first installed my motor, about 2K miles ago, I've had a slow leak at a screw-in core plug. Lately, the leak seamed to pickup a bit, so I got under the car to take a look.

Still the little drip from the freaze plug, but also a fair amout of weaping from the head gasket. The motor has not overheated, of that I'm sure. There is no evidence of water in the oil, nor is there any steam from the exhaust. The motor seems to run fine, other than requiring coolant every once in a while.

Now what? I think I'd heard mention in the past of re-tightening the head bolts after an initial period? Could that be all it is, or am I screwed just days after sending my money in for the WSCB?

Do I need to slip my mechanic extra bills to have any hope of making the BASH?
