For it to be pressuring up the coolant it has to be leaking from the combustion area.
You say the head gaskets look good so it is either a cracked head or cylinder wall.
Pull the plugs and look for moisture or rust on one (or more), and that will tell you which cylinders to scrutinize.
My guess is a cracked head between the valve seats.
Running hot will do it.
