Default Headbolt

Sorry I have so many questions, this is #2 for the day! I started up the truck this morning and noticed 3 head bolts that seem to have leaked, just a little tiny bit. Of the 3 1 of them does not seem to be leaking anymore but the other 2 are. Is there a suggestion that anyone has to fix prior to pulling off a head or removing a head bolt?

Also, I bought a temp gun to shoot the engine temperature and the head is showing 150 and engine block showing about 172 when my engine temp gauge is almost to the top, my gauge has a range of normal and it's the very top of normal What is hot for a flathead?

Details on the engine are 192 miles since rebuild. 8BA with aluminium heads.
