There are a few products out there like Bars Leak and Alumaseal, none of which I recommend unless you are stranded and then only so you can get home and stuff a new radiator in it. I have a tube of the stuff in with the jumper cables and spare relay assortment in my older cars. I recommend you put a new radiator and thermostat in it and be done with it. There is no cap on the radiator like you are thinking of. The cooling system cap is on top of the coolant reservoir or the expansion tank, same thing on your car. Carefully unscrew it so as to allow it to vent and add coolant there. It should be on your right fender.
