Urgent help needed ! Cooling system bleeeding / HG...

My case in short: "Check radiator" flashed few times a couple of days ago. I checked the coolant level and it was low, under min. I added fluid, two days, and same thing. I started to look for leaks etc, but couldn't find any, the car is working perfectly, temps ok etc etc. The only problem is loss of coolant. Ok, I'm mentally prepared to change the head gasket but prior to that I'm (desperately) checking all other options. Yesterday I opened the coolant tank when hot, and after a while the coolant was almost bursting out of the tank -> air.
Finally the question, I know that this system is "self bleeding", but how much and how powerful bursts can regarded as normal ? I didn't know that small hole issue in thermostat, so I can't remember that in which position that is -> referring to Ari's message in this forum.
Car has 120kmiles, and as mentioned working perfectly, but on top of this the head is leaking oil a bit, #4 front corner. I don't feel comfortable with tightening the head afterwards.
All experiences highly appreciated, tomorrow I'll tear it apart if I can't find a cure by then.
Thanks.
