You may have bent the tangs or locking ramps on the cap. That's the cheap fix. If you cracked the plastic or something, it's new radiator time. On the upside, hissing is better than pouring. I'd limp it home and watch the gauges like a hawk.

will it start leaking when it gets hot? because the gauge was in the middle so i am assuming it should have leaked already, or does it take a while, just wondering how come it stopped when i closed the hood

It will leak when it gets hot. It will leak steam and not pressurize which may help you because if it won't pressurize, it may not push liquid out.

I don't want to talk you into doing anything that might damage it further. I can only tell you what I would do.

ME:
1. Stay where I am as late as possible to avoid getting caught in traffic.
2. Take roads where I know I can get water if needed
3. watch the temp gauge (if there is one)
4. No radical driving/stomping the gas etc.

YOU:
1. You decide.
