Honestly, if you have not been having any engine problems, chances are it was not tight enough. It could have worked its way loose. The cooling system builds around 15psi of pressure before the radiator cap will release. So, with that said, you could test the cap and system or try replacing the radiator cap and refilling the system. Make sure the hose clamp on the hose is both clean and dry and then properly tighten it. Also, keep an eye on the temperature gauge to make sure the vehicle is not running hot, which can cause increased pressure.
Here are directions to help test the system:
