You have no "radiator cap" its on the coolant tank, passenger side inner fender with the green or black plastic cap and white bottle.
If you have that aluminum radiator with plastic tanks you will have to replace the radiator as it has begun to rot out to the point of no return. If you have the copper radiator a shop can repair this quite easily.
If you need to buy a "little" time and I mean little you can use ordinary table pepper, ground not whole pellets. Go make yourself a burger and take the pepper shaker with you to the car this way your wife wont suspect much. Shake some on your burger and dump about 2 tablespoons worth into the coolant bottle and start the engine. Pepper will be circulated through the system and when it passes the leak it will try yo flow out with the coolant and get trapped in the small holes. Now after a while in the water it will expand slightly and plug the holes (we are talking pinholes folks) and being organic in nature wont affect the water pump seals or plug heater core.
Pepper specifically black pepper is rotten red pepper and when wetted will expand a great amount.
Just make sure the pepper makes it back to the kitchen, don't want to read about the fellow brickboarder who lost his head to the grindstone!
