Keep in mind that there is sealant that has set up after assembly
between the flange on the nut and the head surface.  You run the risk of
breaking this seal, but you really have nothing to lose.  Throw in a can
of Bar's Leak, it has worked for me in the past to buy time.  It won't
hurt anything, and maybe it will get you to a warm season before you
have to face the ultimate long term repair.  http://barsleaks.com
