Default coolant resivor overflow

i know this topic has been covered hundreds of times and all of them point to a blown head gasket but... my situation has none of the typical signs of a blown head gasket... NO overheating, no exterior leakage, no oil in the coolant resivor, no milky crap on the oil filler cap, only coolant spillage. I fist noticed it yesterday after driiving it hard... it was fairly warm out too. I'm kinda stumped.

My setup is mini-me with non-metal head gasket... its only about 3 months old.

any ideas are appreciated.
thanx

well the radiator cap looks good... comming home from school i drove it hard, got home and checked and everything is cool.... i don't get it. Yesterday was almost 50 degrees out, today it was snowing... could possibly be harder to duplicate in cooler weather?
i guess i'll just have to order some ARPs and new gasket.
