Default water wetter question

I bought a bottle of water wetter today. Do i put it in the overflow tank?
Cuz its full, and doesn't seem to be flowing at all. I let the car warm up and nothing drained out.

Yeah thats fine to put it in the over flow, it wil eventually cycle through the radiator. Or you can poor it directly into the radiator, when its cooled down that is.

the overflow tank doesn't really circulate with the rest of the system that way. When your car heats up it will push excess coolant into the tank. When it's sitting and the coolant in the system cools back off, it will pull fluid back from the overflow. It will get circulated eventually, but it may take a little while.

Here's the thing. I can't find the radiator cap. I have a big plastic cover over the radiator. If the cap is under it, it looks like atleast a 30 minute job.

The corvette doesn't have a radiator cap. No worries, you did it the only way you could. It will circulate into the system over time
