But wait a second, if the headgasket blew, wouldn't there be no pressure in the coolant system when you opened the cover? 

Yeah there could be pressure. The headgasket could crack enough to leak but not enough to make it lose pressure when it gets hot. I've had the Saab coat the engine bay with antifreeze a few times since the HG went.
