RE: BIG PROBLEM PLEASE HELP
Your radiator hose came off because of age, hoses and clamps go bad over time. Replace ALL hoses and clamps every 5 years no matter the miles.
You are loosing coolant, you probally have a bad headgasket and it let compression gases into the cooling system and over pressurized it blowing the hose off because of a weak clamp.

Hell yes.. if you are going through the trouble of doing all that..
For the love of god.. finish the job..
You want to rule out all the possiblities,
If its still using fluid after that..
You will need to look at the Head Gaskets
Like mike said..
Try snugging up the bolts on the valve cover
