Default loosing coolant thru radiator cap

I was working on my car the other day when I noticed coolant leaking out the radiator cap. as a quick fix, I replaced with one from my 5.8 powered truck (my 93 has a 5.8 as well). Both caps were 16 lbs. Drove the car about 600 miles and I noticed when I stopped for gas that there was wetness (green wetness) on the hood above the cap and on my battery (othing pouring out though). Lost a total of 1/2 gallon but no overheating. What gives? The cap off my truck worked fine on the truck.
