Is the cap marked engine coolant where you pour the antifreeze and stop leak?

That is the place; however, . . .
. . . unless you can afford to risk loss of use and/or expensive repairs, addition of stop leak products to the cooling system is not recommended. The number or engines brought to an early end by addition of cooling system stop leak additives is probably beyond estimation. But, if the car is near its end already (and you have alternative transportation) it might not hurt to try.

hi
Is an antifreeze leak dangerous?
No. It can result in damage to the engine if you loose all of your coolant. I have damaged an Alternator by coolant spraying on it. There is some risk if you try to work on the radiator or remove the cap when the engine is HOT. The fluid can spray on you can cause burns. Antifreeze is not harmful to you if you spill it on you. ( cats and dogs are attracted to antifreeze and could possibly kill them if they drink it )

What causes a car to keep losing antifreeze?
One of the most common causes is from a crack in the radiator. The radiator will usually leak antifreeze before the coolant hoses or hose connections begin leaking during the life of a car. If you don't see evidence of a coolant leak on the exterior of the engine and cooling system or on the ground below the engine, the leak could be internal. This could be costly if allowed to continue. Have the system pressure tested and repaired asap.
