Also, my trunk carpet was totally dry.

Is it possible to loose that much coolant via cap within 30 min???
Yes, it is. Food for thought department: I would seriously consider replacing the cap and the tank while the car is apart for the IMS. Much like the AOS, changing the tank with the car assembled can be a knuckle skinning couple of hours; with the trans out, like the AOS, the tank connections are out in the open and the tank can be swapped out in a few min. Word of caution: Do not use an aftermarket tank. We have had zero luck with them, and now only install factory units.
