Boils over after new radiator! C70 1998

If the gasket were blown, wouldn't I be seeing other issues? creamy oil, white smoke, etc?

Something's very wrong here. The coolant is vanishing at an astounding rate. 1/2 gallon top-off was gone in a few miles. Yet, there are no pools of coolant under the car.

Incidentally, my temp gauge *does* go above the half mark.

        If it's the Head Gasket, are there any short-term options? [C70][1998]
