If you do check to see if it is a blown head gasket that way MAKE SURE IT IS ALREADY WELL BLED! If you don't you could get seriously injured. Even if you do you still could be. All because there could be an air pocket in the system and when it heats up it could cause a pretty big geyser. I'd try the cap first. Also, if you haven't changed your fluid in a while I would suggest doing that also.
