My car overheats. I replaced the radiator, the thermostat, and it leaks water from a hose that connects to the PFI, and from what might be the water pump. I know I need to replace the leaky hose for sure, but what is the other spot the water is leaking from? The radiator stays pretty cool, but the engine is hot. Its a 1990 acura integra. Please help me out! Thank you!

 

Optional Information:
1990 Acura Integra DOHC

Reply to mike's Post: The lower hose on the radiator that makes its way to the thermostat is a lot cooler than the upper hose.
