Kenetsu is heading the right direction with the additive, but I found something better. Bars Leaks makes a Ceramic Head Gasket Repair in a bottle. It is about $30, and works AWESOME. Although the Alumaseal is good, and works, it still has metal particulate in it. You don't want that in your combustion chambers. The Ceramic stuff is silicate glass, and will not damage the rotor housings.
Trust me on this, I did mine right after DGRR, and it has been holding strong ever since. Have not lost ANY coolant, and no more smoke or startup issues.
Mine was so bad, that after sitting overnight, the spark plugs would be wet with coolant.
I picked up my bottle at the local Advance Auto Parts.

Yes, the Alumaseal has metal particles in it, but as I said, aluminum is highly flammable so if a particle makes it in it will just combust. Are glass particles?
Also, how do you know that what you used works better? My stuff worked, your stuff worked. Sounds like we've both completely solved our issue. I did it for $4 and you did it for $30.
And one last thing, I've got many thousands of miles on my repair, so I win.
Anyway, I'm just messing with you man. I'm glad you found a way to cure the issue. But when I read that part about glass particles it reminded me of the "liquid glass" that they were using to destroy motors as part of the cash for clunkers deal.
And why does everyone spell my name as Kenetsu? lol
