If you also have pressure overnight and loss of coolant, it's also recommended that you spring for the $20. and get the oil analysis. Why conjecture?

I usually only get pressure overnight say maybe once a month, no where near each time I shut it off. Also it doesn't pressurize right away, only after normal warming but it does get really solid when its warmed up all the way. My apologies, allow me to be more complete in my description. A few months ago I had to replace my water pump due to a leaking seal and I decided to do a citric acid flush while I had the system open. Either by coincidence or because of the flush, my thermostat failed closed, causing the temp gauge to peg for about thirty seconds before I noticed it. After replacing the radiator and t-stat, it now runs at 96C as opposed to the 82 it did before, never past 85. Also, I have had an oil analysis done and it did come back with sodium levels high enough to suspect anti-freeze. Attached is a copy of my results. Thanks.
