I got a radiator flush one week ago. Car is hot sometimes, and I'm losing fluid when the car is running. Now, the service engine soon light is on. What is the problem? Radiator hose? A pump?

if your losing fluid .. you have a leak somewhere ? .. check alll the coolant system for leaks ..if no visible sign of a leak, have the system presssure tested and the engine compression tested ..this will trace the source of the leak .. could be heater core leak or head gasket
