That really is surprising to see a few gaskets going, coincidentally just as the weather starts to cool down.

Thought the same thing had happened to me, but luckily it was just a bad radiator cap for me :\

if you have bled the system properly, check for air bubbles bubbling into your coolant reservoir at idle, clear indicator of blown head gasket

+1, everything I've read & heard is nothing beats OEM & anyone that has decided & gone aftermarket has eventually gone back to OEM.
