Thanks Bob. I think I've been chasing symptoms of a larger problem for a while now. I just ran the car for a while with the cap off. I watched small bubbles come the surface of the reservoir for several minutes. When I revved the engine, suddenly great large roiling bubbles came to the top. They kept until I let the engine return to idle.

I think it is now clear that I'm getting exhaust into my cooling jacket. Best get this taken care of before I lose the engine. A head kit, new bolts, and secondary gaskets are on the way. Looks like my holiday is not going to be one.
