the cap controls the pressure in the coolant system. by allowing the system to be pressurized, it raises the boiling point of the coolant. it also controls the amount of fluid in the system, as the pressure increases it allows coolant to be diverted to the overflow to keep the pressure from blowing the hoses off.

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.

Place a pan under the drain valve on the radiator (back side of the radiator, right side) Reach up and open the valve letting the coolant out. (It is meant to be turned by hand, but you might need a pliers) After the coolant has started draining open the radiator cap to allow air into the radiator. Go back to the engine and open the thermostat cap (Large cap that looks like a radiator cap, has a two step turn - push and turn again removal). Remove the thermostat located under the cap by grabbing it, turning it to break the seal and pulling it up. To fill - close the drain valve on the radiator. Leave the radiator cap off and start filling by pouring the coolant into the (still open) thermostat cap. Note - the thermostat needs to be still removed. Have an assistant watch at the radiator and when it gets full he needs to quickly put the radiator cap back on. Then continue to fill at the thermostat cap till the engine is full. Now start the car and let the coolant circulate, refilling at the thermostat cap when the coolant has dropped. After the car has warmed up, and all of the coolant bubbles have come out, fill the coolant to the top of the thermostat cap housing, replace the thermostat and cap and fill the reserve tank to the warm mark.

Where is thermostat on dodge stealth?
People would tell me all the time that it was directly under the radiator cap. I thought this true until i actually took the time to figure it out myself. While it is technically under the cap you do not need to remove the housing the cap sits on. The thermostat housing is directly to the left of the radiator cap. You'll need to remove three 12mm screws. One screw is about an inch longer than the other two. Look for the down radiator hose, the thermostat is right in the housing it connects to.

Two options. Because there's two system designs. Either A: It's on the top of the radiator on either the far right or far left corner.
