over pressurized coolant

can anyone tell me why my coolant has too much pressure and then blows out the cap? thought maybe was my thermostat, put in new one that didnt help. mech. says it could be that I need new injector sleeves or my head gasket is shot. emptied my coolant and points out a very thin clear film on top. he thinks it's fuel. any come across this before? oh yeah, also put back the coolant with vacuum system, so no air bubble. thank you thank you very much!

My money would be on injector cups.they can be replaced DIY. Riff raff rents out the tool and sells the sleeves for a good price.
