    Head gasket , excess pressure and losing coolant but no obvious leaks are two of the first symptoms .
    I had the same with another car a few years ago and had myself convinced it could not be the head gasket because no oil in the water and it looked OK on the dip stick .
    She boiled over one morning on the way to work after 3 months codding myself . Needed a new head gasket

    See if the floor carpet is wet under the dash, if it is it could be the
    Heater radiator
