Cracked head?

My 75 has had a habit of drinking water. Over christmass when I was last home I found a bad radiator cap and dco forgot to tighten up the heater hose to the heater valve. I fixed the 2 leaks and drove it another 100 miles or so where it then drank more water than I've seen before close to 1/2 gallon. Prior to this it used about that same amount over 1k miles. Car was still running a couple needle widths to the left of the N.

The oil is super clean and clear none of the normal gack under the cap. I refilled the radiator opened up the heater valve and topped off it off after the t stat opened. However with the cap off the water was fizzing like a coke in a glass after 5 minutes after pouring it with a big bubble every once and while.

Should I be planning on pulling the head next week when I'm back or should I be looking for another external leak?
