On most cars if they don't have a radiator cap, then you can put it in the cooling system
by pouring it in through the upper radiator hose. Even if you are suppose to do this while engine is hot DO NOT because it will have the same affect as pulling the radiator cap while hot.

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.

Where do you add radiator Stop Leak to a 1996 Oldsmobile Achieva?
I have used radiator stop leak before in my 1996 Olds Achieva SC with the V6. I put it directly into the coolant resovor. It went in fine for me. This did not give me much help though. I would not recommend using stop leak. It will clog your heater core and then you will have more than the radiator as your problem. Fine a new radiator and replace it that is the best advidce i can give you.

Is the radiator reservoir on the right side of car and is that the only place to put the radiator fluid?
On my '96, the reservoir is indeed on the right (passenger) side of the car. And I'm darned if I can find a radiator cap on the radiator. It's the only place I've ever put coolant, and it's where I added some liquid based stop leak stuff. Perhaps one of the others can illuminate us a bit. FriPilot

What is the best kind of stop leak for radiator?
Assuming you are referring to a car radiator, there are of course a variety of manufactures that make a "stop leak" out there and depending on how bad the leak is ultimately I would advise taking it to a qualified mechanic (if finances permit) and have the leak fixed professionally. Alot of these things on the market to stop a radiator leak are only temporary at best. They weren't meant to be a permanent fix. Reason being, the radiator builds up alot of heat to the point that any kind of putty type stuff or even one that you put directly in the radiator that is suppose to plug up the leak from the inside will eventually give out due to the amount heat. Basic science: Heat expands things. Maybe not the answer you were looking for, but .
