I tend to agree it's ot your cooling system.
That one burp you got out of it would be typical -- could be from being slightly overfilled, could have been caused by a bubble at the back end of the head or block expanding and forcing some out. Couldn't hurt to flush it. And Jims notion about finding a thermometer to aim at it might be helpful.

Signs of this would be excessively hot manifold or muffler -- and it can happen even with a light load.
