Also ,if you are losing coolant from a head gasket, check your plugs, or better yet, the top of the pistons. If you have one real clean plug or a clean piston top compared to the others, that will be an indication of a leak.
The system will hold pressure overnight. I often release it to add water for the morning commute. Holding pressure doesn't jive with a gasket leak.
