Default help! coolant problem...

Hey guys i need some info... i have been working slowly on my mustang for about 2 years on and off, i drive it about once a month to keep the fluids moving! now all i really like it paint.... anyways today i drove it to have a 373 thrown in and while it was at the parts store running i noticed it was leaking anitfreeze out of the radiator cap... my car has been running cold lately it takes forever to warm up so im thinking i may have somthing blocked.... any info would be much appreciated!

was it on all the way? it takes an incredible amount of pressure to push past the cap and not into the overflow. sounds like it was loose to me.
