Check Engine light / Radiator fluid smell

My check engine light keeps coming on and off. It usually comes on when I am on the highway doing around 65. I occasionally smell radiator fluid. The transmission was flushed about 2 months ago and I am keeping regular on the oil change.

I checked the gas caps and they are on tight.

What could be causing this and could it be a pricey fix?

As far as the coolant smell have the cooling system pressure tested to find the leak. If your smelling coolant in the truck the heater might be leaking . The engine light will have to go on a scanner to check the codes .
