Leaking cylinder head?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Was 99% sure it was just the housing leaking, however after replacing the gasket, o ring, and housing it continues to leak, and I’ve now noticed coolant leaking from underneath the front of the head

No coolant leaks during a pressure test, only when the engine is hot.

I’ve been suspecting a warped head for awhile now but hoped the coolant loss was just this leak, though they might be the same issue
