Why would an engine "gurgle" only after turning it off (and spill coolant?)

But that doesn't answer the question.
The question is what happens when you drive unpressurized.
All I can think of is that the boiling point is lowered.
Most engines keep the temperature around the 200 F degree mark, I think,
where even plain water wouldn't boil.
What's the boiling point of unpressurized 50:50 coolant?
