After you purge any air from your cooling system using the method in Mo Focus's post above, keep an eye on your coolant reservoir. If you were in fact leaking coolant through the head gasket in the amount you're described you would notice it drop fairly quickly.

Not only that, most head gasket leaks don't act like that anyways.

Most commonly;

- A leak between the coolant passages and the oil passages result in water in your oil making your oil resemble a chocolate milkshake and not as much oil in your coolant (some but not a lot. This is because once the engine heats up the steam forces its way into the oil. not the other way around. Water pressure>oil pressure

- A leak from your coolant to your combustion chamber usually will force combustion gasses into your coolant system making it either overheat or overpressure. Combustion gas pressure> water pressure.
