Funny thing is it's not leaking all the time, it has been running for weeks without leaking any coolant and now all of the sudden it lost some yesterday.

It is consistently running hot though, is that a sign that a head gasket has gone?

If this occurred w/o overheating the engine (running in the red), or being exposed to sub-zero temps (a partially cracked head gasket can go all together with one good freeze...) AND there is no coolent in the oil, then I would think you have a small leak in your radiator/cooling system. Running hot w/o overheating all together is usually a symptom of a pin-hole type leak or old radiator cap. You're loosing pressure somewhere...
