Pop your hood and see where it's leaking from. Is there a hairline crack right beside the cap?

Could be a hairline fracture in a hose, so that when the car is off there isn't enough pressure to push the coolant out, but when the car leaks out it starts spraying everywhere. When you check for leaks, make sure the car is up to normal operating temperature.
