Default coolant issues/problems....

okay so heres the deal... i have a d16z6 with the apexi turbo kit intercooler and everything else... the problem that im having with my coolant. im driving and next thing you know im smelling coolant. i pull off to the side and pop the hood and coolant is spraying all over my engine bay. cant tell wheres its spraying from but my resovior tank is FULL.
i checked the oil and there was no signs of coolant mixing.

i believe that i did not bleed the coolant system right... might still be bubbles in the system - if there is air in the system could it overpressurize the system causing it to overflow?

could it be a BLOWN headgasket?

TIA
