I suspect that I either have a radiator leak or hose leak. Coolant has been leaking for the last few weeks. I can smell the antifreeze. The engine temp has also been fluctuating. I had the radiator flushed and new coolant put in and this helped for about 2 weeks but now it's leaking again. What could be the other possibilities?

Assuming that the radiator had to be replaced, what is the usual cost?

Hi there,

could be any number of cooling system components, best you have a pressure test done on the cooling system, this will help to locate any external leaks, get this done first.
