Overnight cooling system pressure is a bad sign. A garage can test your coolant reservoir with an exhaust sniffer for the presence of hydrocarbons -- there's only one way for them to get there.
You might try a test a friend of mine showed me once, working on a 5-liter Mercedes. He dipped a pencil into the coolant in the overflow tank, pulled it out and held a lighter flame under it -- it lit like a candle!
