Default Cooling Fluid Leak--Check Engine Light Issues

Just a couple of quick questions for anyone that may have some insight for me.

I have a 2003 Ram 1500 with about 25k miles and the cooling fluid completely dumped out on me last night. It appears there is a leak around the lower radiator hose (possible the hose, clamp or radiator connection, i will find out tonight). Has anyone else had this issue? Anything in particular to keep an eye out for while i inspect?

On occassion i have the check engine light come on regularly. i have had it scanned and the last few times it has been an O2 sensor error. Typically it goes away after a couple of days, so i chaulked it up to a loose gas cap. has anyone else had a consistent issue with their check engine light coming on? anything that is a common problem that i should be aware of?

yes i have a 06 dodge ram 1500 with 2500 miles on it. last week the engine light came on. on my way to the dealership i stopped ot a little gas and the light went off. so i figured it was the gas cap. i called the dealership they said ya it probably was just that because it seemed fine. then this morning i was driving and all of a sudden the ligth came on and started runnning like ****. i stopped and shut teh truck off and checked the cap again. it was fine. i get back in teh truck the light comes on again and stays on but runs fine now. soo weird. i am bringing it to get checked out monday. im soo pissed. i just bought it a month ago brand new with 20 miles on it. and im running into problems already
