Radiator Leak--plz help!!

I have a 2004 f-350 with 104k. I walked out this morning to see that my truck had liquid under the radiator on the ground so I opened the hood to see that there was white residue and coolant leaking from the top of the radiator. I know i have to do a flush. Am trying to locate some restore now. I just had my oil cooler and egr delete done about 8k ago. What coolant should I use and should I do a restore+ flush also? How extensive is the radiator replacement? I am pretty mechanically inclined and have done stuff from transmission drops to ring gears. This is my first diesel and I just dont know enough about them yet. Thought on flush and coolant choice? I have a filter which Ill change also when I am done flushing, and I know the shp used ford gold when they replaced my oil cooler and did my egr deal. Thanks in advance for any and all advice you can give.

Pulling the radiator is not that bad. Just need a little patience.
