check the carpet lining in the trunk...if it's all wet, then your coolant tank may be leaking. Otherwise, I would first change the coolant cap. Make sure you have the coolant cap that ends with part number O1. The old style is OO and can leak. So I think part number is something like 996.....01. It's like $20 or so.

I would not travel 200 miles with a coolant problem until I figure it out. You are better off getting a cheap rental car.
