Same problem

I had the same problem- shut off my car in the hospital parking lot and it spewed a gallon of fluid (as measured later, although I felt it was 3 or 4 at the time).
I called my mechanic and had AAA put it on a flatbed and hauled it to him.
He sort of laughed because it was the result of an improperly closed radiator cap, as in my fault

He added some fluid and bled the system.

Being anal, I bought a new cap and screwed it off and on 3 or 4 times to be sure I did not get it on crooked.
