I know for sure it's the passenger side because about 10 secs after I shut the car off, looking under the hood, the passenger side below the valve cover, in the back, shot out very pressurized water vapor...twice.

So..what you're saying is..disconnect the coil, and when the engine is cold pop the rad cap and use a ratchet to turn the crank...and the water level in the radiator will rise or overflow if the head gasket is blown? Am I reading that right?
