I would suggest a composite gasket. Sealer may work with the steel shim, but you’re probably getting tired of pulling the head.

Id do it once again if the rtv trick might work. CR is measured low so it would be great to keep the shim gasket.

To answer your question........ the small hole to the right of the dowel pin hole in your first pic is a coolant hole.
If the leak is as minor as you say, I can’t imagine that a dose of stop leak wouldn’t solve it.
As for the composition gasket......... mill the heads .020 and use a Fel-Pro 8519 gasket, and you won’t lose any compression...... as well as have a flatter head with a better surface finish(if done on good equipment).

Do the dowel pins go all the way into the water jacket on the block?
