Default Whiff of Anti Freeze - Should I be worried

Just taken my Sti for a blast and when opening the bonnet when I got back I got a whiff of anti freeze which was coming from the rad cap (not the expansion tank). There did not seem to be any fluid leaking so I assume its just the engine releiving pressure from the cooling system, is this normal or is the pressure build up due to an underlying problem?
