If you need convincing get a sniff or block test done at your local garage. That is a chemical added to the coolant. If it turns (green I think) then you have exhaust gas in the coolant.
I would not mind a bet that when you do get the head off the leak is between 5 and 6. thats always the one to look for.

Oh dear. Everything i've read here i've done. Block test, thermostat, burping, flush, blah blah blah.. On block test there is no exhaust gases in my cooling system, the car was purging through the overflow and yes, i too got extremely scared about a BHG.. Although i guess its not the problem. I had a coolant leak through my thermostat res,.. fixed that, no more overflow. BUT!!! it still overheats randomly, weirder part.. if i put it in neutral while driving and its overheating, the temp gauge imediately drops to normal operating temp, and stays there.. answer that riddle
