Sounds like you are pressurizing the cooling system since it shows up when you get on it... more than likely a bad head gasket... what does your engine/power adder combination consist of?

I had the same issue my rad cap wasnt even holding 5 psi and the tank overfilled many times. However being the paranoid person I am and with the car having 100k I decided to do head gaskets and lifters cuz I thought I had a lifter tap which was infact piston slap. Anyway after taking the motor apart I couldnt find any bypass on the gaskets and the motor wasnt burning coolant. But hey atleast I got redone heads and gaskets out of it. Is the motor burning coolant, missing at all, or have a milky substance in the valve covers?
