Coolant Leaking....

I was driving around today (95 Formula) and the "low coolant" light came on, then went off. It did this a few times during the afternoon. Eventually, I noticed the temp go into the red and the "check gauges" light pop on (although the "low coolant" light was not on...). So I headed back home, nothing smoking yet, and just as I pulled into the driveway I heard a POP from under the hood. I opened the hood and it was steaming all over and the coolant was leaking (bubbling explosively) from where it gets filled. The steam cap to the radiator was still intact, and was not hissing or anything.

I know this could be a lot of things, but anyone have any ideas? I am no expert on cars, but like to figure things out and try to do things myself wherever possible. If anyone has some time and wants to help me diagnosis/ fix it, hit me up!! I'm trying to make the car ready for a coast to coast roadtrip in a few months, and this kinda throws a damper on things
