Plugged rad? Are you using the cheap green coolant?

The car is a friend of the family. Car is in good shape. Not
neglected.Appears to rise when the car sits. Driving the tep level
appears good.. Overflow bottle is at level. I will have to check the
radiator tomorrow.

If it was a leaking head gasket, the coolant level in the rad would be low.
That's one reason I told you to check the level in the rad.
Also check the level in the expansion reservoir.
Do the checks when the engine is cold!
