Re: Could this be anything but a headgasket problem?

Your saturating the Radiator with heat, and can't shed it fast enough. Obviously fresh coolant might help. But might be time for a new radiator. That gurgling sound is the coolant starting to boil. I wouldn't worry about the head gasket just yet, but it is possable that its leaking, but unless its pushing coolant out of the engine I doubt it.

The car isn't smoking at all, no signs of coolant in the oil. I need to get a better look at the coolant to see if there is oil in it. No signs of external leakage.

I might just get a new radiator, mines' fins are so bent It wouldn't surprise me much if that is causing issues.
