Do not know if it will cause gasket problems or warping of the head. During re-torque, or loosening the head nut, it is recommended to drain coolant so the coolant level is below the head. Done to prevent seepage/leaks while the head is not properly torqued.

A leak path, once established, will continue to leak. Not having made that path is much in your favor.
