sounds like you are talking about the part on the radiator where you fill it and the cap goes?

If indeed you are and it sounds like you are that should have a hose going to you overflow bottle/tank and isnt called a waterneck.

the waterneck is on the intake and would have no "relese valve" of any kind it has your upper raditor hose and a bypass hose coming form the intake going to it and that is it.

hope this helps and makes sense if not PM me
