How do you add coolant directly into radiator?
Don't! Most cars have a reservoir for radiator coolant ... add liquid to the reservoir. Opening the radiator cap introduces air into the sealed system ... you don't want air bubbles in the cooling system.
Where is the radiator cap located that leads directly to the radiator. I am not referring to the add-coolant cap on the plastic reservoir or Add tank?
A lot of vehicles don't have the radiator cap on the radiator , they use a thread on style cap on the engine coolant reservoir ( that is the pressure cap / radiator cap )

Coolant reservoir, or directly in the radiator. If you are having to add much coolant, you need to find out why. Serious engine damage can occur if it is leaking inside the engine.

Add the 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water to the engine coolant reservoir on the drivers side of the engine compartment ( carefull you don't put coolant in the windshield washer fluid reservoir - they are side by side ) or , if the engine is completely cool , you can remove the radiator cap and add directly to the radiator , and then re-install the radiator cap
How do you put coolant into a radiator?
You don't add coolant directly to the radiator, rather it goes into an overflow reservoir in the engine compartment. There will be a "min" or "max" line (or both) showing the proper level to be maintained. The reason we do not remove the radiator cap anymore is to keep the coolant system a sealed system so that no air can penetrate the coolant systems. By adding coolant through the reservoir (which has liquid in it already which is drawn from the bottom of that reservoir) we are not comprising the sealed system.
Water pump is leaking - do you need to put coolant directly in the radiator or can you just fill the reservoir?
Fill both, but only remove the radiator cap when the engine has completely cooled off. Obviously have the water pump repaired as soon as possible.

What is reservoir?
The reservoir is usually considered to be the tank which holds coolant. It feeds the coolant into the radiator when needed, and receives coolant from the radiator as is necessary. This is where you check and maintain the coolant level. Make sure the cap is on quite tight.
