I cannot find the radiator cap on my '99 Ford Tuarus to save my life! I know where the resevior is and I believe I've been told I don't even have a readiator cap but something tells me there has to be one. Am I wrong?

Thanks!

Coolant is added through the plastic bottle on the right fender has a cap on it its a turn type and not like the old radiator lock type Its under pressure do not open if engine hot coolant will BURN you

I knew there was a good reason I didn't like this car, haha.

Thanks a lot!
