Default Is my head gasket blown. Video attached

The coolant lately has not been returning to the radiator from the overflow but stays just around the same level and Fins and not returning. Anyway is this normal or is this a blown head gasket?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkyPGflbYes

No coolant in oil no obvious problems. I have been posting questions for days and no one answers any of them, does anyone know anything on these forms

Not enough info to indicate head gasket.. With radiator cap off, let it idle for a bit, no need to apply throttle..

well to give that specific honda dealer the trust it deserves i would perform the test yourself to make sure beyond the benafit of the doubt it is in fact the head gaskit dealers cant be trusted. because it sounds like it could be a bad radiator cap and not a blown head gaskit. im serious you can't trust dealers and a bad radiator cap would definitely cause that problem which will cost 25 dollars compared to 1,500-2,000 for a head gaskit be warned!
