after the short high speed run your gasket could be leaking slightly thru into the cooling system.. put an exhaust sniffer on the expansion tank to check for exhaust gas presence..
dont just rely on the normal gasket failure stuff.. at this stage of the leak none of it will show up.. ie.. no oil in water or water in oil or even bubbles in the tank..
what i am talking about is a small leak under running loads of cylinder gases into the cooling system.. this will only happen under highish running loads..
this might not be what u want to hear but to save yourself a lot of future trouble.. its the first thing i would check out..
