The dry sleeve should not be below the deck, .003 to .005 will be fine. If it were mine, I would pull the pan and look to see where the coolant is leaking from. Put 7 psi (no more) in the radiator, and use a good light to find the source. If it leaks between the cylinder sleeve, and the block casting. it likely has a crack in the cast bore. (not a disaster if repaired)
Usual best practice is to bore out the block for a pretty thick repair sleeve, then bore that for the correct dry sleeve (and the top groove for the dry sleeve rim can be machined to exact protrusion) Jim
