Help with possible cylinder head issue

2002 9-5 Aero, 99,000 miles. I purchased the car new and have diligently maintained it.
Got a SID message a couple weeks back indicating low coolant fluid. There is no residue from any leak under the car on the pavement. I also don't smell coolant burning, and there is no unusual smoke on start up. I have been noticing rough starts in the morning, but it doesn't happen every day.
In any case, I took the car in to the dealer and they recommended tightening up the head gasket bolts, along with an oil change and coolant replacement. So that was done about a week ago. Yesterday, the low coolant message was back on the SID again. So it looks like tightening the head bolts didn't work.
Is there anything else this could be besides a head gasket or cylinder head replacement? I purchased the car new and have diligently maintained it... Full synthetic every 5000 miles. Seems a bit early for the cylinder head to have issues.
Any advice?
