If you want to be really sure that you don't have a blown head gasket, get a combustion leak detector. They are about $50 and test your coolant for combustion gasses (indicating a head gasket leak)

Turns out I was a bit premature in thinking I addressed the issue. Still leaking, but have isolated it to cold start conditions. Definitely in the radiator cap area. Might even be a cap problem.
