Not necessarly as the crankcase is generating the pressure in a headgasket/dropped liner scenario that over pressurizes the cooling system dumping it out the overflow, OR an injector cup failure that would cause coolant to be consumed and go out of the exhaust system. By pressurizing the system with the pan dropped you would be able to tell if either one of these things are happening by seeing if coolant is running down the liners and onto the floor.. Forgot one thing though if your radiator has an integrated transmission cooler check your transmission and make sure it isn't filled with coolant.

He did mention transmission. That’s on my to do list tomorrow. Waiting on the snow to stop lol. I appreciate it. We didn’t see anything blowing out the stack. Not to say it isn’t but we did watch that.
