Subaru Outback coolant leak

My Subaru Outback 2.5 EFI has developed a slow leak at the rear of the engine between the head and the block. I have had it pressure tested and that's the only place it's leaking from. It doesn't overheat and there are no bubbles in the radiator or water in the oil. I have had the water pump checked, radiator hoses, radiator, and there are no leaks. I have had three independent reports by mechanics that say the same thing, to fix the problem it's necessary to pull the motor out and I have been quoted $2800 to $4800 to do it. It's only done 176,000 km and I am pretty pissed off at having a head gasket go at this low kilometres. Any suggestions for a fix?

It's not a blown head gasket, so I would try Bars Leaks or some other similar product and hope that seals the coolant leak. The replace the gasket, which is the best fix, you'd have to take the engine out as the mechanics suggest.
