Rev the engine with the rad cap off to test the head gasket. Just stay away from the opening and be ready for a mess. I've seen cars with really bad head gaskets almost empty the radiator! It's normal (I think) for the coolant level in the rad neck to rise a little when revved, but a geyser is a bad sign.
