thats what i was thinking but its not leaking any water and thought if it was the head gasket that there would be alil bit of water coming out. or am i wrong?
Re: can someone tell me whats wrong
the bubbles are exhaust gasses escaping through the water galleries, Take it to a garage they can do a test using a special fluid that detects even the smallest amount of exhaust gas in the radiator. Its called a tee kay head check

Dont panic. I got the head planned and checked, a new water pump, cam belt and follower and tensioner, new head gasket, thermostat new intake and exhaust gaskets and a few other odd jobs and it cost me just on a grand for my Courier 2.2 petrol.
If you have someone who can help you pull it apart and reassemble maybe you can save a few $$$, mine would've been about $500 if I hadn't had the extra stuff done.
Where are you (your profile doesnt say - put it in) maybe someone close by would be able to help. Put on some beer and a BBQ/pizza and you never know, it may only cost you the gasket kit and food etc.
