(1) The problem here is that, with a VERY small coolant leak, what has leaked out can evaporate without being able to see it.
Is there any signs of a 'powdery' deposit, being of similar colour to the coolant ANYWHERE on the engine? If so there may be a leak in that area.
Another possibility, there could be a slight leak on the heater matrix - Have a look for damp carpets and/or the smell of coolant in the car.

(2) I would suggest that you remove the rocker cover, separate it from the gasket and place the flange face (the area that bolts to the cylinder head) on a FLAT surface (a sheet of glass will do), keep a gentle pressure on it and attempt to get a thin feeler gauge under it at all points around the flange face.
This will show up any distortion on the flange face.
Also, make sure that there are NO traces of old gasket stuck to the rocker cover, or the cylinder head.

Regards
