The rad flush is probably something you can handle yourself, but first, look around to see where the coolant leak is. Could be radiator hoses, heater hoses, or the water pump. Most of these are straightforward DIY jobs which a shop will probably sock you with a big bill to handle. Find the leak and post back, the folks here on the board will guide you.

Swapping a cam is probably a 2-3 hour job for a shop equipped with the right valve shims. I took about 4-5 hours to do mine, coupled with a timing belt change, fresh seals and drive belts. Probably took me longer to measure and adjust the valves than to actually swap the cam.
