I don't see the difference.  It's a closed circuit.  There is a pressure
drop across the engine, and one across the radiator, both drops
determined by the flow and their individual resistance to that flow.
It's the A+B=B+A thing (isn't it?)

There will be a difference in pressure along the circuit, though it may not be enough to really matter to us.  You mentioned electrical circuits before.  Imagine a simple series circuit, with a 10V battery (pump), and two 5 ohm resistors (engine and radiator).  The highest voltage (pressure) will exist at the terminal of the battery (outlet of the pump).  Every time it goes though a resistor it will drop.  

I just noticed your web site name :-)  That's funny.
