Default Head Gasket? - Small Bubbles in coolant reservoir (video)

I’ve attached a video; this was taken after driving for about ~30 minutes.

Could this be a small leak in the head gasket? It definitely doesn’t seem like a full blown failure, however it seems like this could be a start to a much bigger problem.

I had to top off my radiator about 10 Oz today to get it completely full (reservoir tank level was otherwise full), however I did just change the radiator about 250 miles ago. I figured after 250 miles it would have purged all the air out by now, as I have driven it at least 5-6 warm up/cool down cycles.

Coolant temperature is usually right around, to ever so slightly above the 1/2 mark when driving.

Im going to get a combustible gas tester and fluid tomorrow, however wasn’t sure if anybody had ever seen this before.

Thanks all.

1-Check your new radiator really good, my new radiator had a tiny pin hole, I had to return it.
2-Replace your radiator cap.
3-After installing the new radiator- squeeze the driver's side radiator hose a few times.
