Coolant Seal Blown and NO Smoke?

So heres the scoop. My car is pushing coolant into the overflow like crazy, no matter what the temps. It will run great about 10 minutes until too much coolant has been pushed into the overflow and overheats very quickly. The thing is, no coolant smell or smoke. Could it just be my seal is blown after the exhaust. Im guessing that compression is leaking into the coolant passages, pushing air in and coolant out of the system.

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that Im going to have to rebuild, but is there anything I may have overlooked. Also, Its hard to do the bubble check because I always have air in my system from when it overflows. Any other ideas.

Please check your thermostat first since I had the same problem and it turned out to be a 15.00 fix.
