Coolant game streaming out

[RBrummer]

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.

Dang you guys are good. I checked the area in the trunk, carpet dry but coolant looks to have exited the cap, fluid was sitting on top of the black plastic piece in the oil and radiator cap area only. So it seems to be a cap failure and nothing more. Any suggestions on who to get that cap from, with fast and reliable delivery?

Thanks guys, you are so good. Mucho appreciated.

Is this cap describe as "Expansion Tank Cap"?
