Hello,

No, it is not normal for the radiator to have pressure on it if it hasn't been started for a few days. It sounds as if you may have a Blown Head Gasket. The blowing out of coolant could be the Cylinder Compression going through the coolant system forcing the coolant out. One way to chek this is to remove one spark plug at a time turning engine over after each plug. If the coolant stops blowing out then it is most likely a Blown Head Gasket.
