Im going WAY out on a limb but I think your radiator could be cracked.

It only leaks after 5 minutes because the pressure is building up and the water is still getting up to temp, it probably takes a couple minutes for your thermostat to even open. Your resivor is getting empty because your leaking fluid causing it to use the stuff from the resivor. Bottom line is, if its leaking from your radiator like you say than its your radiator, you need a new one or find out a way to ghetto patch yours up.

Visualy inspect the hoses and radiator make sure you didnt crack any of the vertical fins. If you have to pull the radiator out to do so.
