Jonathan's troubleshooting recommendations are good.
The guy at Autozone is most likely right. At higher pressure the boiling point increases. Cooling systems are sealed, and run at pressure. That allows them to run at higher temperatures. If the cap is leaky, the system doesn't hold pressure, so it boils at lower temperatures. It boils and spews out of the bad cap.
I would make sure all the hose clamps are tight, and buy a new cap. It's cheap and if it's wrong, you still have a nice, new cap.
