How do you Put stop leak in the radiator?

Depends, do you have a radiator cap on the radiator or is your
cooling system ran from the overflow tank? if you have a cap on the
radiator then the answer is pretty obvious, open the cap and pour
it in. if you don't have a cap on the radiator, then you will have
to remove the upper radiator hose to pour the stop leak directly in
the radiator. i wouldn't try putting the stop leak in the overflow
because it may not all get into the radiator thus making it less
effective and could possibly even clog the lines.
i had this same question and i finally found the answer so i
thought i'd come back and share with you. i have a 1996 3.1 corsica
and the radiator has no cap. i was thinking you could pour it in
from one of the hose outlets but wasn't sure.

How do you tell if your radiator cap is faulty?

take the cap off and check this look under the cap and see if
the rubber seal is broken or it looks worn but if in doubt replace
it a mechanic has tool for connecting to radiator to check cap
pressure. but if you think radiator cap is the problem, just buy a
new one they cost under 10 bucks. if that is the problem, it is
sure cheaper than going to a mechanic

What causes an engine coolant fluid loss in reseservoir and some in radiator after about a week of driving no leaks from radiator?

One possible answer is if the radiator cap is bad. Now you have
to remember that there are two seals on every rad cap. The outer
one, for sealing the cap to the radiator (or pressurised overflow),
and a second seal on the pressure relief valve. If either of those
seals is bad, hot coolant will be able to undetectably escape the
system, thus causing no signs of a leak, yet lowering the coolant
level in time. Try replacing the radiator cap.
