Some vehicles no longer have a direct access to the radiator. The only direct access is at the bottom of it where the hose that runs to the engine (and most likely where your thermostat is located), or through the overflow resivoir. Note that the cap on the overflow looks like its meant to handle extreme pressure, like a gas cap. I will monitor your post for more questions however, I am curious, is there a particular issue I can assist you with? Best of luck!

I cant find the petcock or the radiator cap. I see the overflow cap, and the upper and lower radiator hoses. Do i drain/flush the radiator by taking off the lower hose? any tricks or suggestions to flushing cooling system?
