If you hear a sound like liquid churning when the car is turned off, you are probably low on coolant. This sound is actually the sound of coolant backwashing into the reservoir after the engine stops actively pulling it in.

Will a bad radiator cap cause excessive pressure that will cause the coolant to boil off instead of circulating through the engine?

No. Excessive pressure will not cause the water to boil off quickley. It will cause the radiaor hose or other components to burst causing loss of coolant. A bad radiator cap can cause high or low pressure; low pressure will cause the coolant to boil at a lower temperature.

What part of the engine will coolant boil first?

The cylinder head The cylinder head area is the area where coolant will boil first if coolant is present. The area directly above the combustion chamber will get hot first, which is the bottom area of the cylinder head. The old saying that heat rises is still true. Heated coolant will usually exit the upper radiator hose to the radiator and as coolant is cooled in the radiator, it will circulate down into the block where it will be heated again to repeat the cycle. The coolant pump present in most engines just helps this natural cycle.
