I got my oil changed last week and by the next day my car was overheating and leaking all the water and antifreeze from my reservoir. I noticed that there was a very small "pen dot" size hole on hose right next to the reservoir. The car is not showing that it is overheating, but when driving it smokes and you can hear the water bubbling in the reservoir. When it is cooled enough to check to see how much is in it, it is empty.

Also, on the opposite side of my car it is leaking out the same stuff (coolant and water mix). My boyfriend says he thinks that this leak is coming from the hose attached to my radiator.

When I had my oil changed they also checked all my fluids. And topped them off if they were low.
I read on the Internet if someone puts too much antifreeze in there car it can cause hoses to rupture and even the radiator. Please help!
