Hey guys. Yesterday while driving my car over heated and when I opened the hood, the radiator fluid was gushing out. After taking it to the dealer, they covered the repair under the warranty. But my question since the car had over heated and coolant spilled out should I do a flush? The car itself has almost 79k miles on it. Also what parts would I clean so I could prevent more issues that could occur from this? I thought that a flush would help clean up and changing all the fluids might be the way just to have a peace of mind. If you guys can chime in with answers, it will be helpful.

Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Drain and refill coolant.

If you're concerned about the spilled antifreeze causing any kind of corrosion or damage, just spray your motor down with a garden hose. Just don't let any dogs lick your car.
