radiator problem?

ok guys. i took my camaro out this evening, cruised around, let the old lady do some burnouts lol. anyways i have one of those thermocap radiator caps, (ones that show the temp on it). the problem is i pulled the car in the garge and heard hissing and gargling. opened the hood, and its blowing foam out around the cap itself at the base. is the cap not woeking correctly or is it a radiator prob? gauge in car and cap read 180. thanks guys

Re: radiator problem?

like its fizzing out around cap.kinda like where air or pressure is trying to push out, and collecting some fluid with it making it "foam" out around the cap.
