A radiator cap would not cause a leak! However, if the radiator cap is holding pressure, other weak parts could signal issues in need of attention.

Why would antifreeze leak from the radiator cap?

If you have a "Leak" from the cap either the cap needs to be replaced or the top of the Radiator is damaged. It is normal for thermal expansion (water gets bigger when hot) to cause the coolant to go into the expansion tank when cars is hot and to be drawn back into the radiator as the engine cools

Why would the coolant go out of your radiator if it has no leaks?

It may appear to be coming from the radiator. A leak is a leak, and it can cause serious prolems inside your engine. It could be a house, a gasket, the water pump, or you may have missed a radiator leak. Over heating can cause this too, and that presents other problems. Lastly, your radiator cap may be failing. That's a cheap first step. Don't let this go for long, keep fluid in your system at all times.

Why does a car radiator produce steam when broken down in the summer?

There are plenty of ways a car can break down without the radiator being a part of the cause. As for the reason you'd see steam from a radiator, it would escape if there was a leak in the radiator or the hoses, or if the cap was opened. The contents in a radiator are very hot - hot enough to produce steam.
