Default Reservoir vs coolant tank difference

Hi Friends,

I got a stop leak for my audi radiator but I am little confused after reading the instructions.

It's mentioned - cool the engine, remove radiator cap, shake bottle and pour directly into radiator. If direct access to radiator is not available, install in overflow tank. Fill radiator and overflow tank to proper level and reinstall cap.
The confusion - I don't see any radiator cap in my audi and just see a white tank with blue cap which I believe is overflow tank as I put my coolant in it but I also see another tank with yellow cap. Is that for transmission fluid? So, is the coolant reservoir and overflow tank the same thing and I need to put the leak solution and then coolant in the same tank?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Johnny

1 - the black and yellow is the oil.

2 - don't use stop-leak. Find the problem and fix it rather than potentially cause more problems
