Hey Willie==If it comes out the cap and not the overflow jug, the cap is faulty plus what is causing it to get hot. 'Check the fans for proper operation. If it isn't smoking white smoke, it probably isn't the head gaskets. A stuck thermostat will also cause it ot overheat. If all else fails, take it to a radiator shop and have the radiator flow tested. GoodluckJoe

Smell of antifreeze but radiator is full?
The smell of antifreeze is very strong and distinct, it does not take much of a leak to smell it. The radiator could still be full and have a small leak.

Why is antifreeze blowing out from the radiator cap of a Nissan Titan?
If it's just blowing out when you start it you probably have a cracked head or blown head gasket. If there is oil in the radiator there is a change you have oil coming in from the transmission cooler. But there would have to be a lot of oil to make antifreeze come out the radiator cam. Since you did not mention oil I would suspect the head gasket. If you got it hot I would lean toward a cracked head.
