sounds like what my car was just doing.. it was a coolant seal. easiest way i found to test is to get a block tester from napa. its like a test tube with a one way valve that holds a blue fluid. you put it on your rad cap while its running and suck air, not coolant through the fluid. if it turns yellow, there is exhaust gasses in your cooling system..there like $40.. good luck

I've used those in the past as well. They work really well.

I still vote rad cap though. If it's not holding the pressure in the system, it will bleed off into the overflow as soon as the coolant starts to expand. And it also defeats the coolants ability to do its job (the pressure in the system lowers the coolants boiling temp).
