Good move getting the radiator first. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be a head gasket. Good luck with the repair!

So I replaced the radiator and my problem was solved. Went with the Nissens from FCP. 1,000 miles in and everything is working great. The Nissens radiator seemed to be good quality and was a prefect fit.
