Unless the cap wasn't snapped all the way down, it shouldn't... Unless a clamp isn't tightened all the way down, or too much.

Try filling it again to the brim and running the car to see if any drips out where you're parked.

I would guess the rubber seal at the bottom of the filler neck, thats the part that slides into the main reservoir tank is leaking the water.
That would explain the missing water up to the lower part of the neck.
